How Chiropractic Can Help Your Digestive System

Is your stomach ever talking to you and reminding you that you ate the wrong thing? Is it telling you that the food that you were craving earlier is now less appetizing? If this is you, or you're just feeling stuck with the lack of food options that your stomach will be able to tolerate, you’re in the right place. It’s common for us to consult a nutritionist or dietician but the answer could actually be your local chiropractor. 

There is most likely more than one reason that your digestion may be messed up. Yes, what we consume contributes greatly to the way our stomach works but the way our nervous systems operate is extremely crucial to understand. Your body's digestive system is controlled by the nervous system if that part of your body is off, the stomach can suffer. Our nerves in the nervous system assist with helping push food throughout the body and without proper functioning, this can lead to pain, gas, bloating, constipation, or acid reflux. 

Chiropractors specialize in adjustments of the lumbar spine which could leave you feeling better and to help normalize your digestion. Chiropractors are also known to be safer and can show longer term positive health effects versus taking medications such as a laxative. 

The next time you are in pain from trying to digest your lunch you may want to call Dr. Postier and schedule a consultation to see what positive effects that chiropractic can have on your daily life.
