How Chiropractic Care Can Improve Digestion

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Michimich -- Did you know that your digestive health can impact your entire body?

According to the Cleveland Clinic, "our gut microbiome describes the microbes and their genetic material found in our gastrointestinal tract. And we know the bacteria in our gut affect everything from our digestion to our mental health."

A normal digestive process is crucial to our survival. If interferes with this bodily function, it could create a cascading effect of declining health. If we can't extract the vital nutrients our body needs from our food, then our health and ability to function properly is compromised.

The primary type of interference to normal function of digestion is when there is a blockage in the normal function of the parasympathetic nervous system. In other words, the control center of digestive function is blocked from doing its job. Think of it as a disconnect, where the parasympathetic nervous system isn't talking with the digestive process. It's like using a cell phone when you have only one bar instead of full bars. You can partially hear what the person is saying and some of the information may get through, however you can't have a clear conversation.

A blockage in the parasympathetic nervous system may be caused by a structural abnormality called an Atlas displacement Complex. The nerve tissue that is protected by the Atlas (C1) and Axis (C2) is the major source of parasympathetic control. If these spinal vertebrae are displaced in any way, they will affect how the parasympathetic nervous system functions and ultimately how the organ systems that are connected to this tissue function.

This is why we have patients who often report that they've noticed improved digestion while under the care of a chiropractor in Ann Arbor. The goal of our care is not to improve digestion but to restore balance to the nervous system, which helps the body operate better.
