When most people think of chiropractors, they envision doctors treating neck pain, back pain, and joint problems. Issues like heartburn, constipation, and irregularity probably don’t come to mind…but they should! Chiropractic care is an effective treatment for acute and chronic pain all over the body, and can even help with digestive problems. Here’s what you need to know.
THE CHIROPRACTIC/DIGESTIVE CONNECTION
Chiropractic care supports the healthy functioning of the nervous system. The spine is home to the spinal cord, which is a centerpiece of the nervous system and transports messages back and forth between the brain and the body. When there are subluxations (or misalignments) in the spine, it can cause those messages to be interrupted. The vagus nerve, which extends from the brain stem, innervates the organs that part of the digestive system. Sympathetic nerves in the lumbar and thoracic regions also play a role in digestion, along with the parasympathetic nerves near the sacrum. If there are subluxations present, these nerves might not get the messages they need to function properly and tell the body what it needs to do.
CHIROPRACTIC GETS TO THE CAUSE
The chiropractors at Wills Chiropractic use their years of training and experience to find the root cause of the problem. Once subluxations are located, we will use gentle, effective spinal adjustments to correct any misalignments. An effective, non-invasive solution to digestive issues is important, as these problems run rampant with over 80 billion dollars spent on related medications every year. Studies have found a decrease in heartburn, less bloating and discomfort, more regularity, and an improvement in constipation with the help of regular chiropractic care.
Chiropractic is excellent for treating neck and back pain but can help with so many other issues along with improving health and wellness. To learn more about how you can benefit from chiropractic care, click here to contact your local Rochelle, IL chiropractor
