Gastrointestinal Disorders: A Common Struggle and How New Health Chiropractic & Integrated Healthcare Can Help

​

Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders are more common than many people realize, affecting millions of individuals worldwide. These conditions can range from occasional discomfort to chronic issues that impact daily life. If you suffer from symptoms such as bloating, gas, heartburn, constipation, or diarrhea, you're not alone. At New Health Chiropractic & Integrated Healthcare, we understand the challenges of dealing with GI disorders, and we're committed to providing holistic and multi-faceted treatment options that can help restore your health and well-being.

​

What Are Gastrointestinal Disorders?

Gastrointestinal disorders encompass a broad range of conditions that affect the digestive system, including the stomach, intestines, esophagus, and other organs involved in digestion. Some of the most common GI disorders include:

​

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): A condition that causes abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation.

• Acid Reflux (GERD): When stomach acid consistently flows back into the esophagus, leading to symptoms like heartburn, regurgitation, and discomfort.

• Celiac Disease: An autoimmune disorder where the ingestion of gluten damages the small intestine lining.

• Gastroparesis: A condition where the stomach takes too long to empty, causing nausea, vomiting, and bloating.

• Chronic Constipation: Difficulty passing stools that can cause pain, discomfort, and irregular bowel movements.

• Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis: Inflammatory bowel diseases that lead to chronic inflammation in the digestive tract.

• Food Sensitivities & Allergies: Reactions to certain foods that can trigger digestive discomfort, bloating, or even more severe reactions.

​

These conditions are not only uncomfortable but can also have a significant impact on quality of life. Fortunately, many of these issues can be addressed with the right treatment plan.

Our Holistic and Multi-Faceted Approach to Digestive Health

At New Health Chiropractic & Integrated Healthcare, we take a comprehensive approach to addressing gastrointestinal issues. Our team of experts works with you to identify the root cause of your symptoms, providing targeted treatments that support the whole body, not just the digestive system.

​

Here’s how we help:

1. Chiropractic Care: A Foundation for Digestive Health

Chiropractic care isn’t just for back pain – it can also support the digestive system by improving spinal alignment, which in turn can enhance nerve function. The nervous system controls many aspects of digestion, and a misalignment in the spine can interfere with proper digestive function. By restoring alignment, chiropractic adjustments help promote better nerve communication, which can reduce symptoms such as bloating, indigestion, and constipation.

2. Functional Medicine: Addressing the Root Causes

Functional medicine is a personalized, systems-based approach to treating GI disorders. By using advanced testing, we can identify underlying issues such as food sensitivities, gut imbalances, or inflammation. With this information, we develop a tailored treatment plan that may include dietary changes, nutritional supplements, and other lifestyle modifications that promote healing from within.

3. MLS Laser Therapy: Reducing Inflammation and Promoting Healing

MLS Laser Therapy is a cutting-edge technology that uses light to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and promote tissue healing. It can be an effective adjunct treatment for those with chronic digestive issues such as inflammatory bowel disease or gastrointestinal discomfort. This non-invasive therapy helps stimulate the body's natural healing processes and accelerates recovery.

4. Nutrition and Lifestyle Counseling: Sustainable Health Practices

What you eat can significantly affect your digestive health. Our team provides nutrition counseling and guidance on how to incorporate digestive-friendly foods into your diet. We may suggest eliminating trigger foods, introducing healing foods like bone broth or fermented products, and encouraging healthy lifestyle habits like stress management and regular exercise to support your digestive system.
