Dealing with digestive distress? Tired of reaching for pain relievers for those pounding headaches? You’re definitely not alone. What many people don’t realize is that these common issues often trace back to the spine. Since your spine houses the nervous system, which controls digestion, pain response, and so much more, even small misalignments can lead to big problems like bloating, discomfort, and recurring headaches.
Chiropractic care can help relieve these issues by addressing the root cause: nerve interference. Many people are surprised to discover that the health challenges they’ve been struggling with for years could actually be linked to spinal misalignments affecting nerve communication.
How Spinal Health Impacts Digestion
“The nervous system plays a key role in regulating digestion, but stress and spinal misalignments can lead to symptoms like bloating, acid reflux, and a sluggish metabolism,” explains Dr. Erik Coombs, St Louis Park chiropractor.
Chiropractic adjustments help restore proper nerve function, allowing your digestive system to work more smoothly and comfortably. Specific areas of the spine directly connect to your digestive organs. When these vertebrae are properly aligned, signals travel freely between the brain and the digestive tract. Practice members may feel relief from chronic bloating, discomfort, or digestive issues they didn’t even realize were connected to their spine.
Chiropractic for Headache Relief
Headaches—especially migraines and tension headaches—are often tied to tension and nerve pressure in the upper spine. Misalignments in the neck or upper back can lead to muscle tightness, nerve irritation, and even referred pain into the head.
Chiropractic adjustments gently realign the spine, reducing tension and pressure, often resulting in noticeable headache relief. Many people not only find relief from their current headaches but also experience fewer headaches and less intensity over time. In some cases, long-term headache patterns have even resolved completely after consistent chiropractic care.
Techniques for Digestive Health & Headache Relief
Dr. Erik uses a variety of gentle, targeted techniques to relieve pressure on nerves affecting digestion and headaches. These may include:
- Precise spinal adjustments
- Soft tissue therapies
- Personalized exercises to support posture and spinal health
