What do gut problems like heartburn, GERD, and Irritable Bowel Syndrome have to do with chiropractic care? The underlying causes of heartburn, GERD, and irritable bowel syndrome can cause inflammation (swelling) through the body. Inflammation has a negative impact on your brain and can cause joint and muscle pain.
If you get recurrent low back pain, neck pain, or headaches, despite receiving regular chiropractic care you may want to consider your underlying gut problems could be the source of this pain.
When you understand the underlying cause of your gut problems you can treat it more effectively and get your life back. Underlying causes can be food intolerances, low stomach acid, overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine, an imbalance of good and bad bacteria in the gut, or other gut conditions. Sometimes the nerve supply from the brain and spine to the smooth muscles in your gut isn’t working properly. Sometimes the valve between your small and large intestine doesn’t open or close correctly.
There are many natural ways to treat the underlying cause of your gut problems that are safe and effective. Treating the underlying cause naturally will help get you well and keep you well.
