Many people don't realize just how important gut health is to their overall well-being. It doesn't just affect how your stomach feels; it can impact your energy levels, every organ in your body, your concentration and mood, and much more. In this guide, our team at Back To Health Chiropractic in Worcester shares how chiropractic care can help improve your gut health and get you feeling your best.

How Your Spinal Column Impacts Gut Health

Your spinal column houses your spinal cord, an integral part of your body that controls the messages sent between the brain and every system in your body, including your digestive system. Often, herniated discs and other injuries, even if you don't know they are there, can put pressure on the nerves. This can cause a misfire in the messages and result in gastrointestinal stress. Additionally, sitting for long periods puts unnecessary pressure on various muscles and components in the back, leading to undue pressure on the gut, causing pain, discomfort, bloating, and improper functioning.

The Effects of Sneaky Parasites

Did you know that parasites are very easy to pick up from regular activities? Everything from gardening and spending time with your pets to eating certain foods can lead to parasites in your gut. Unfortunately, these parasites can lead to bloating, fatigue, stomach aches, and other digestive issues.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

There are various ways in which a chiropractor can help improve gut health and provide relief from pain, bloating, fatigue, headaches, and other related symptoms. Here are just a few:

•     - Adjustments: Restoring alignment to the spinal column helps restore proper function to the nerves.
•     - Parasite cleanses: Our team can help you get rid of pesky parasites causing your gut health issues through personalized treatment plans.
•     - Massage therapy: When muscle tension contributes to your gut problems, therapeutic massage can help relieve it.
