You may ask how a chiropractor can help with a medical condition. Well it is very clearly determined that there is a link between posture and health. Our body has been perfectly designed to carry us through our lives and has an incredible ability to repair itself but we must seek out the correct treatment when needed. This is where Clare and her team at the Mosman Spine and Health Centre who specialize in digestive complaints treatment in Mosman can help you.
How does our digestive system work? Food to our body is like fuel to our car, we need food to fuel our bodies for growth, energy and repair. The digestive system changes all of the food we eat into its simplest forms, like glucose (sugars), amino acids (protein) or fatty acids (fats). This broken-down food then goes into our bloodstream from the small intestine with the nutrients being carried to each cell in the body. The digestive tract starts at your mouth and ends at your anus. The liver plays a very important role in the digestive system as well as other vital roles such as breaking down fats, processing proteins and carbohydrates, filters and processes toxins, using bile stored in the gall bladder and also generates glucose for short-term energy use.
There is a strong correlation between digestive complaints and poor posture. With correct posture there is very little stress on the spine whereas poor posture creates areas of increased stress on your spine. The nerves connected to your spine in these ‘stress zones’ are adversely effected which can have profound effects on the way your organs function which in turn in some cases prevents your bowels from functioning at their best.
Clare’s non-invasive chiropractic treatment is extremely effective, is drug free and can restore your posture and above all improve the function of your organs, thereby improving any digestive problems you may be experiencing.
It is extremely important that you consult a professional who understands the anatomy and physiology of your body. Clare and her team at her Chiropractic Spine and Health Centre specialize in digestive complaints treatment in Mosman and have found a strong correlation between poor posture and digestive problems and have had great success in alleviating symptoms with good chiropractic care.
