Chiropractic care has been shown effective in the treatment of patients with digestive problems. One study showed how infants with infrequent bowel syndrome receiving chiropractic care experienced almost immediate improvement after sessions.
Another comprehensive study established a link between spinal misalignments and the occurrence of Crohn’s disease. Affecting any region of the digestive tract, Crohn’s disease causes inflammation along the small intestine. In addition to pain, this inflammation results in frequent emptying of the intestines and diarrhea.
The dominant theory of the reason behind Crohn’s disease is that the immune system is responding to a virus or bacterium. To treat the inflammation of Crohn’s disease, the traditional approach is to use corticosteroids. However, the side-effects of corticosteroids can be serious, possibly prompting greater vulnerability to infection. Drugs that suppress the immune system are also used. In a search for drug-free treatment approaches, researchers explored methods that assisted the immunological system, as opposed to blocking it.
Another study revealed the link between spinal misalignments and a wide range of conditions including ulcerative colitis, asthma, Crohn’s disease, and irritable bowel disorder. The study indicated that adjusting these displacements may prompt improvement, and in some cases, remission of Crohn’s disease symptoms. Research indicates that there’s added value to chiropractic care. Not only is there improvement of digestive disorders following chiropractic care but also an overall improvement of patients’ quality of life.
