Natural Treatments for IBS
Digestive discomfort is more than just an occasional nuisance—it’s a daily struggle for millions of Americans. Bloating, gas, irregular bowel movements, and the unpredictable pain of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) can significantly affect quality of life. While many turn to diet changes or medications, few consider how the nervous system—specifically the spine—plays a vital role in gut health. At Elevation Health Center, we offer a unique, chiropractic-centered approach to healing the gut and relieving digestive issues like bloating and IBS.
Understanding Bloating and IBS
Bloating is the feeling of fullness, tightness, or swelling in the abdomen, often caused by excess gas or digestive disruption. IBS, on the other hand, is a functional gastrointestinal disorder marked by symptoms like abdominal pain, cramping, diarrhea, constipation, and bloating.
The causes of IBS are often complex and multifactorial, including:
-
Poor diet or food sensitivities
-
Stress and anxiety
-
Hormonal imbalances
-
Gut-brain axis dysfunction
-
Nerve interference affecting the gastrointestinal tract
While medications can offer temporary relief, they don’t always address the root cause—which is where chiropractic care comes in.
How Chiropractic Care Supports Gut Health
The nervous system controls every function of the body, including digestion. When spinal misalignments, or subluxations, interfere with nerve communication between the brain and the gut, the digestive system may become sluggish or overactive, contributing to IBS and bloating.
Chiropractic adjustments correct these misalignments, allowing the nervous system to function optimally. When the vagus nerve—a key player in the gut-brain connection—is properly supported, patients often report noticeable improvements in:
-
Bowel regularity
-
Reduction in gas and bloating
-
Decreased abdominal pain
-
Overall digestion and nutrient absorption
At Elevation Health Center, our chiropractors use gentle, precise techniques to restore spinal alignment and improve nervous system function, supporting your body’s natural ability to heal.
Complementary Treatments for IBS and Bloating
Chiropractic care is only one part of a comprehensive gut health approach. At Elevation Health Center, we offer several integrated treatments that work synergistically to support digestive health:
1. Functional Nutrition & Food Sensitivity Testing
Many digestive issues stem from unknown food sensitivities or nutrient deficiencies. Through testing and personalized nutrition plans, we help you identify inflammatory triggers and restore balance to your gut flora.
2. Red Light Therapy (Photobiomodulation)
This non-invasive therapy reduces inflammation and promotes cellular regeneration. Used regularly, it can support gut health by improving circulation and reducing systemic inflammation that contributes to IBS.
3. Cranial Facial Release (CFR)
Often used to relieve pressure in the head and sinuses, CFR also supports the autonomic nervous system—an essential component of digestive function. By improving neurological communication, it can enhance gut-brain regulation.
4. Custom Weight Loss & Detox Programs
Excess weight and toxins can worsen bloating and IBS symptoms. Our physician-guided weight loss and detox programs are designed to reset your metabolism, reduce inflammation, and support gut health from the inside out.
5. Stress Reduction & Nervous System Rebalancing
Chronic stress is a major IBS trigger. Our chiropractic care combined with lifestyle coaching and therapeutic modalities helps patients reset their nervous systems and promote parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) dominance, which is essential for proper digestion.
