Chiropractic & Digestive Problems

Have you, or someone you know, been suffering from poor digestion? Heartburn, gas, bloating, constipation, irritable bowel symptoms?

A 2005 study posted in JMPT (Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics) reported that chiropractic adjustments may be beneficial for digestive problems.

Digestion begins in the mouth, continues in the stomach, and finishes through the intestines. What controls the digestive system? Your nervous system! Spinal misalignments create pressure upon the nerves controlling every part of the digestive system. Focusing on removing that pressure upon the nerve supply of the digestive system restores its function and reduces symptoms.

In addition to adults, chiropractic has been shown to help children with digestive problems. A 2008 study demonstrated how effective chiropractic care is for infants with digestive disturbances.

Chiropractic care focuses on allowing the body to function and heal naturally on its own. If you've been suffering from digestive problems, let Dr. Taira know in order to check specific part of your spine and nervous system.
