Digestion and Chiropractic!

You might be asking how does the digestive system related to Crohn's disease and Chiropractic care have in common, well, an extensive study showed a direct connection between Crohn’s disease and spinal misalignments. Crohn’s disease results in inflammation along the small intestine, affecting any part of the digestive tract. Inflammation causes frequent emptying of the intestines and also diarrhea, and is painful.


The generally accepted theory around the culprit of Crohn’s disease is that the immune system is reacting to a bacterium or virus. To address the inflammation of Crohn’s disease, corticosteroids are typically recommended. But corticosteroids’ serious side-effects may put one at a greater risk of infection. Medication that inhibits the immune system is also commonly recommended. Researchers of the study sought to look for treatment options that boosted the immune system (as opposed to suppressing it) in a way that did not rely on the use of drugs.


An additional study linked ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel disorder, Crohn’s disease, and many other conditions with spinal displacements. This particular study revealed that when displacements are corrected, symptoms of Crohn’s disease improve dramatically. There’s an additional benefit to chiropractic care, research asserts. Along with treating the digestive condition, chiropractic care also seeks to improve the patient’s quality of life.
