Chiropractic care is the first line of defense against stomach problems
The pain, discomfort, and lifestyle disruption of stomach problems are ubiquitous; most people have experienced the distress of diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps. These symptoms are associated with a wide variety of common disorders, ranging from mild indigestion to more troublesome conditions such as peptic ulcers, gastroenteritis, and stomach cancer.
Many stomach problems are caused by the stresses and fast pace of modern life. Of course, poor diet is another major culprit. Overuse of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can directly irritate the lining of the stomach and impair digestion. Alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs can also have this same effect.
The stomach is an organ between the esophagus and the small intestine. Protein digestion takes place in the stomach in a three part process: the storage of swallowed food; mixing the food with stomach acids; and ultimately sending this mixture to the small intestine. The functions of the stomach, as with all other functions of the body, rely on signals and messages from the brain in order to work properly. When this process is disrupted for any reason, stomach problems may develop.
