Poor Digestion Treatment in Cobourg
Poor digestion means your colon is not properly digesting your food to absorb the appropriate nutrients and water. When this occurs, it can cause blockages and impact healthy eliminations. Warning signs can include bad breath, low energy, difficulty concentrating, bloating, pain, and discomfort.
What Are the Symptoms?
There are many types of digestive issues, including some degree of the following:
- Gas
- Bloating
- Acid reflux
- Cramps
- Diarrhea or constipation
What Are the Causes?
Deficient digestion has many causes, but one often noted is poor spinal alignment. This causes nerves to be stressed, and they are not able to transmit appropriate information to their destination, in this case, the digestive system. The nerves specifically affecting digestion are in the thoracic and lumbar regions, and these are areas commonly treated by chiropractors.
Our Approach
The goal of chiropractic adjustments is to improve the alignment of the spine; working in specific areas can greatly help ease discomfort and improve digestion. These would be adjustments focused primarily on the lower region of the spine. Adjustments also work on the muscles and connective tissues, which play a role in the digestive system.
