Digestive Issues - Horizon Chiropractic Center
The brain-gut connection has been a highly misunderstood and controversial topic in the medical field for decades.
If you’ve suffered from digestive issues like irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, leaky gut, or have the symptoms of a brain-gut dysfunction, then we don’t have to tell you how true that is.
You’ve probably been laughed at, shunned, belittled, and maybe even “fired” from your doctor because you keep bringing the topic up. Unfortunately, it’s one of those conditions where there is no blood test, no MRI, or any set of tests that can prove that, yes, something is wrong. The symptoms can vary from person to person but typically are a combination of the following:
- Chronic fatigue
- Brain fog
- Chronic pain (that you can’t simply point to or describe interestingly enough)
- Bloating
- Acid reflux
- Intense cravings for sugar
- Memory issues
- Weight gain
- Difficulty losing weight no matter what you do
- Chronic constipation
- Diarrhea
- And often poor sleep
Sound familiar?
You’ve got all this going on, you try to explain it to the doctors, and they look at you and say, “Well, you don’t look that sick” or “Your blood tests came back normal,” and what now?
You are left feeling defeated, frustrated, and depressed (but there’s conveniently a pill for that, right?).
It’s frustrating not to be understood. It is depressing that no one believes you or even if they do, there’s nothing they can do for you. Feeling helpless is to feel hopeless. And it sucks.
That’s where we come in. We know this is real, and we know it’s taking away “the old you” a little at a time.
Most importantly, we know where to look to find the root cause of the problem. We have testing that can show us (and you) what the problem is, and we have a plan and a solution to get you out of this mess.
At Horizon Chiropractic Center, we spend the time it takes to understand, analyze, and interpret these tests. Then, we sit down with you and create a step-by-step plan to take you from where you are to where you want to go.
Upper cervical chiropractic has been shown to help improve the gut-brain connection, and individuals with digestive issues have had huge improvements in their health.
If you’re tired of feeling stuck, come and see us. We’ll discuss expectations and outcomes, steps you can take at home, and walk side by side with you every step of the way.
