Reduce Nerve Disturbance
Sometimes patients with constipation have nerve disturbance, tension, and stress. Chiropractic care does not treat constipation. It helps to reduce nerve disturbance and restore normal function. The nerves that regulate, control, and supply the digestive system start at the brainstem, travel down the spinal cord, and exit out between two vertebrae mostly in the low back and pelvis. Misalignments of the bones of the low back may compromise the function of the nerve signals to and from the digestive tract. This compromise can affect the child’s or adult’s digestive tract from functioning at its most optimal level. We do not treat constipation. Simply, we as chiropractors check to see if the bones in the low back and pelvis are properly aligned. If the bones are misaligned causing nerve disturbance, we gently reduce it with safe chiropractic adjustments.  For infants or small children, an adjustment would be done with light touch of our fingertips in the right direction and place. Many patient have seen great results in the reduction of symptoms after chiropractic care.
