Digestive Problems
The process of digesting your food is a complicated symphony of different factors. It’s a balance of stomach enzyme secretion and muscle movement. Your nervous system controls this digestion process. The nerves going to the digestive organs are responsible for telling the organs to create digestive fluids. But oftentimes, the digestive organs do not produce the proper chemicals and enzymes necessary for digestion. Gas, bloating, heartburn, reflux, and general digestive problems plague nearly 80% of adults. Symptoms of digestive issues may include an upset stomach, GERD, constipation, excessive gas, bloating, diarrhea, and more. When the spinal bones are misaligned, they create pressure on those nerves making proper digestion impossible. Once this spine is back into a normal alignment and the nervous system works better, the body can create digestive juices and digest food properly. If your digestive difficulties are caused by a chiropractic condition, adjustments to the spine where the nerves control the digestive system may help.
