Irritable Bowel Syndrome
“Irritable Bowel Syndrome Or IBS Is a Growing Concern – Here Is How Chiropractic Care Can Help”
Irritable Bowel Syndrome ( IBS ) or Spastic Colon is a huge concern in our country. 5 Million Canadians suffer from IBS which is typically characterized by abdominal pains, cramping & frequent changes in bowel function including gas, bloating, diarrhea & constipation.
There are 120,000 new cases every year & IBS can be chronic ( which means it is there all the time ) or recurrent ( which means it can come and go ), and females are more likely to get IBS.

Let me explain to you what this means….
The only thing that connects your brain to your digestive organs ( or any part of your body ,for that matter ) are your nerves.
So what these researchers are saying is that when these specific nerves are being compressed or choked because the spine is not aligned properly, this is what can disrupt the interaction between your brain & your digestive organs causing you to develop Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
