Did you know that as many as 40% of the world’s population suffer from chronic gastrointestinal problems?

Problems with the digestive system can take a serious toll on the lives of people living with a digestive condition. One of the most common conditions that affect the digestive system is irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). 

IBS is a long-term condition with uncomfortable symptoms such as diarrhea, constipation, bloating, abdominal pain, and more. 

The exact cause of IBS isn’t known, and the condition is often life-long. But with proper treatment, IBS can be successfully managed. 

One effective treatment for IBS is chiropractic care. In fact, chiropractic care is an excellent choice for treating all gastrointestinal issues.

Chiropractic care helps relieve digestive issues by restoring communication between the brain and the gut.  

Similarly, visiting a chiropractor can help relieve the symptoms of conditions such as Celiac disease.

Let’s take a closer look at how chiropractic care helps manage digestion and relieve the symptoms of Celiac disease and IBS. 

Chiropractic Care for IBS

Over 55 million Americans suffer from IBS. Depending on the severity, the condition’s symptoms can range from mild to debilitating.

If you are an IBS sufferer, you know how it can negatively affect your day-to-day life. 

Many of the medications used to treat IBS aren’t always effective. This is because medicines tend to relieve the symptoms of IBS without getting to the root cause of the illness. 

You may not realize just how connected your digestive system is to your nervous system. Your nervous system is composed of your brain and spinal cord, which is responsible for sending messages throughout your body. This includes messages to the nerves in your digestive system. 

When your spine is misaligned, it can cause dysfunction throughout your body and the digestive system. 

A large number of IBS patients suffer from spinal misalignments. By realigning the spine, a chiropractor can fix nervous system miscommunications and relieve symptoms of IBS. 

Chiropractic care for Celiac disease

Chiropractic care is also helpful for Celiac treatment. It achieves this by restoring communication between the brain and the gut.

Around three million Americans have Celiac disease, but many don’t realize they have it. This is because the condition is often mistaken for or confused with a wheat allergy.

Just like IBS sufferers, many Celiac patients suffer from a misaligned spine. Chiropractic care can help relieve the discomfort of Celiac disease through gentle spinal adjustments.

These adjustments fix miscommunications from your brain to your nervous system, including the nerves in the digestive system 

If you’re suffering from digestive issues or a condition such as IBS or Celiac disease, then visiting a chiropractor may be the right choice for you.
