Many people think of chiropractors as just back and neck doctors. Did you know regular adjustments can benefit your entire body? Chiropractors such as Dr. Capers Zentmeyer focus on treating the spine, which is essential to the function of the central nervous system, which is responsible for every function in your body, including digestion. By improving the health of your central nervous system, you enable your digestive system to work better. Regular chiropractic treatments have been shown to relieve stomach pain, acid reflux, constipation and other digestive disorders.

How is my spine alignment related to my digestive tract?
If the vertebrae in the spine are improperly aligned, it can cause a misfire in the signals going to the nerves of the digestive system. The result can be many common digestive disorders, such as bloating, constipation, diarrhea and more.

Will having a back adjustment repair my chronic stomach issues?
With regular chiropractic adjustments, your body can restore nerve connections and communication to ideal levels. This can improve digestion and eliminate or reduce conditions like irregularity, nausea, general discomfort and more.

Is my back pain the reason for my stomach pain?
There are many reasons to have spinal pain and abdominal pain, including overeating, eating fatty foods and more serious concerns like autoimmune disorders and cancer. Misalignments in your spine certainly can lead to stomach pain. Most simultaneous occurrences of stomach and back pain are non-threatening and can be naturally remediated. Chiropractic treatment is a natural, holistic treatment that does not use medication. If the pain often recurs or does not subside, you should see your general practitioner for further evaluation.

The severity of a condition refers to what state the body is in? Has the patient had many injuries? Do they have neurological findings? Is there degeneration or change in the tissue? All of these different factors, and more must be considered to determine how severe a condition is. Usually the more severe, the greater amount of visits are required.

Another consideration is how long has the condition been present. It is important to realize as we age we experience various traumas through our life. No matter how big or small our nervous system keeps records of them. These traumas can add up and outwardly express as postural imbalances, neurological deficiencies, muscular tightness, etc.

Finally, how well a patient responds to adjustments is another determining factor in frequency of visits. This can be effected by stress, hydration, medications, and joint mobility.

As a patient progresses through stages of care and achieves specific outcomes the frequency of visits will change. How long this takes again varies from patient to patient. The number of visits can also increase if someone has a major change in their life such as an accident or large stressor. The good thing is after receiving consistent chiropractic care people usually tend to bounce back to their precious state faster after an injury or trauma.
