Digestion problems and chiropractic
Our digestive tract is heavily influenced by the state of our nervous system. Chiropractic care may be able to positively influence digestive system function, by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system to enable optimal function. Subluxations of the spine can hinder nervous system control of certain muscles, that would normally prevent reflux and abdominal cramping. For those struggling with abdominal discomfort related to digestive disorders, chiropractic may be able to offer a non-invasive approach to assist in gently managing your symptoms.
