Chiropractic Care and its Association with Digestion

Chiropractic Care and Digestive Relief

In the United States alone, it’s suggested that over 10% of the population suffers from chronic digestive disease. This statistic, however, doesn’t take into account the millions that struggle with undiagnosed digestive issues, whether temporary or acute.

Because of its commonality, it’s imperative to identify solutions to the problem while also prioritizing health promotion and prevention.

One potential solution happens to be chiropractic care!

Contrary to popular belief, chiropractors boast the knowledge and ability to diagnose and treat several health issues other than those that relate to the back and spine. While spinal adjustments executed to prevent back and neck pain are the most popular, there’s much more to a chiropractor than that.

In fact, chiropractors treat the entirety of the musculoskeletal system along with conditions pertaining to headaches and migraines, poor immunity, stress and anxiety, and you guessed it, digestive issues.

The question that many have, however, is whether or not chiropractic care is effective in treating digestive issues or if it’s simply just taboo… Of course, we here at Chawla Chiropractic lean heavily towards the former, and we have science-backed evidence to back it up!

Can Chiropractic Care Relieve Digestive Issues?

Withstanding what others might say on the matter, chiropractors can accomplish more than just temporary joint pain relief; they can relieve gastrointestinal issues altogether… In fact, something you might not have known is that because of the complexities of our body, every system is connected in one way or another.

More specifically, the spine and its accompanying nerves are directly connected to the digestive system. By attending to the health of one (i.e., the spine), you can directly relieve the symptoms of the other (i.e., digestive issues).

Again, while the science is complex, it all comes down to a misfiring of nerve signals that throw the stomach and intestines into a state of flux. While this isn’t the only potential cause for digestive issues, it’s certainly one likely potential cause, and is, in fact, the most commonly reported.

If so, chiropractic care, particularly via a series of spinal adjustments, can help…

Are You in Need of Digestive Relief?

For those less educated on the subject, it might sound peculiar to hear that chiropractic treatment for digestive relief is a viable treatment. Nevertheless, it is! Not to mention, unlike medically invasive treatments and prescription medication, chiropractic adjustments come with minimal risk and an abundance of benefits.

Through both an effective spinal adjustment paired with the educated advice of the chiropractor regarding health and wellness tips, migraines can not only be relieved, but mostly eliminated.
