Stomach pain is not a good feeling to have and it is especially annoying when it becomes bothersome at work or during leisure time. When stomach pain arises during those important moments, it can be very distracting and even ruin the moment. Stomach pain can be the symptom of many different conditions including the flu, digestive issues, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), colitis, or even Crohn’s disease.
Although a subluxation in the spine may not be the direct cause to these conditions, it may contribute to the body’s inability to correct the problem based on nerve impingement in the middle or lower back. It is important to understand that chiropractic care is not a cure or direct treatment for stomach pain or digestive issues, but it aims to reestablish proper function in the central nervous system to decrease symptoms and improve overall health.
If you’ve been experiencing stomach pain from a particular condition, a chiropractor may be able to help you find some relief, depending on your condition. Call your local chiropractor to schedule an appointment today.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that an average of 31 percent of Americans go to the emergency department every year for non-life-threatening abdominal pain (cdc.gov, 2015). Stomach pain and abdominal pain can be closely related, for obvious reasons. In fact, many of the nerves that support that region of the body stem from the same part of the spine. However, abdominal muscle pain is different than a stomach ache and it can arise for completely different reasons. Still, any pain in this region can have a significant impact on the surrounding areas which includes the digestive system.
