Align Wellness Center’s newly released guide points to the positive impact that chiropractic care can have in treating digestive issues and common gut conditions. From irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to ulcerative colitis, constipation, and more, chiropractors can facilitate lasting relief by realigning the spine, says the health clinic.

While the relationship between the gut and spine isn’t immediately obvious, Align Wellness Center refers to the gut-brain axis in depth throughout its new guide. Essentially, it outlines this axis as a series of pathways linking the gut to the body’s nervous system through the spinal cord – connections that can be strengthened through chiropractic care.

The guide notes that the nervous system remains in constant contact with other essential networks in the body – including the digestive system. For any number of reasons, including chronic stress, communication between the two can be interrupted – often resulting in gut problems, suggests the document.

“The human gut has a population of microorganisms that aid digestion and waste removal,” writes Align Wellness Center. “An imbalance in this critical ecosystem can lead to diseases that involve either the brain or the digestive tract.”

According to the Northbrook, IL center, chiropractic treatments aim to correct these imbalances – with benefits that echo throughout the body. Spinal alignment procedures and other common chiropractic methods are designed to unblock nerve pathways and relieve pressure from neural elements – which Align Wellness Center links to pain reduction and overall health improvements.

In support, its guide cites several case studies demonstrating the connection between chiropractic care and improved gut health. One prominent study put the spotlight on a newborn baby diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease. As noted in Align Wellness Center’s piece, the baby’s condition was effectively cured through a combination of specialized chiropractic treatments and nutritional adjustments.

Align Wellness Center is equipped to help patients experience similar health improvements, says the clinic. Under the leadership of Dr. Gregg Gerstin, the Northbrook-area practice supports local communities by providing spinal manipulations and adjustments tailored to their specific health complaints while offering a natural alternative to pharmaceuticals.
