Schedule Your ConsultationWhy Gas Pain Occurs (And Why Traditional Treatments Are Ineffective)
Most people believe gas pain occurs mainly due to what you eat. The truth is, your digestive tract undergoes complex processes that are executed by your nervous system, particularly the vagus and sympathetic nerves that stem from your spine. When vertebrae in your thorax and lumbar spine are misaligned, it can lead to:
Stagnated Gas and Bloating
Misaligned vertebrae interfere with proper nerve communication to digestive organs.
Abnormal Bowel Movements
Nerve interference disrupts natural digestive rhythms and muscle contractions.
Abdominal Cramps
Poor nerve function causes irregular muscle contractions in the digestive tract.
Acid Reflux and Heartburn
Spinal misalignments affect the nerves controlling stomach acid production.
This is precisely why antacids, accompanied by gas medication, only provide short relief. The symptom masking approach without treatment of nerve interference is the root cause of your digestive system dysfunction.
The Unique Advantages of Gonstead Chiropractic for Gas Pain
At Specific Chiropractic, I practice Gonstead Chiropractic which is a very effective form of chiropractic care. Let me explain the unique aspects:
Immediate Relief During Digestive Processes
Most patients notice a decrease in bloating and gas pain within one to two days after their first adjustment. The Gonstead technique specializes on the control based nerve pathways of digestive functions.
Reduced Recurrence of Digestive Disorders
Instead of managing symptoms, my patients usually notice structural and functional changes that are lasting in nature within the digestive system.
Improvement in Overall Wellness
Patients experience better sleep, increased energy levels, better stress coping ability and overall bodily wellness along with the improvement in digestion.
Personalized Treatment Protocols
No two patients are the same, hence every patient is treated with a unique plan that takes into consideration their specific spinal misalignments and digestion patterns.
Drug-Free Solution
Our goal is to eliminate ongoing dependence and utilizing medication as a band-aid without addressing the real underlying problem which rests in the nervous system.
My Proven Method for Gas Pain Relief
For more than ten years now, I have been utilizing a proven method that works exceptionally well for the residents of Manhattan suffering gas pain:
Detailed Assessment (Initial Visit)
I start with checking every patient's digital X-rays along with performing orthopedic examinations so that I can pinpoint the exact vertebral levels that are obstructing your nerve pathways related to digestion. It comes as a surprise to most of my patients that instead of the lower back, it is the upper mid back (between T5-T12 vertebrae) that seems to cause gas pain.
Gonstead Adjustment Application
I conduct spinal manipulations based on specific Gonstead criteria and with precise spinal radiographs, I shift the bone misalignment so that nerve supply and action potential reaches every segment optimally. Gonstead adjustments are different from general chiropractic manipulations because they are done on a much smaller segmental level.
Nutrition and Physical Activities
To solve any posture problems that may be caused by the muscles supporting the vertebrae associated with digestion and by poor nutrition, I provide targeted exercises and nutritional guidance that would aid healing in a synchronized and wholesome manner.
Maintenance and Recovery
After resolving the acute stage of gas pain, chiropractic maintenance is adopted to prevent recurrences of pain in the abdomen and maintain the spine in good shape.
Investment in Your Digestive Health
I believe in transparent pricing because your health decisions should be informed decisions. Here's what you can expect:
Initial Consultation and Treatment
This visit is complete with your health history, orthopedic examination, necessary digital x-rays, and first Gonstead adjustment. Relief is generally experienced within 24-48 hours.
Follow-Up Treatment Sessions
Time and number of appointments depend on how long symptoms have been present and the intensity of the condition. Most gas pain cases resolve completely in 6-12 sessions within 2-3 months.
Important Note: I do not accept insurance because I've found that insurance-driven care limits the time and attention each patient deserves. However, patients often notice that the absence of gas pains leads to lower healthcare spending because there is no longer a need for ongoing medications or specialists.

What Makes Specific Chiropractic Stand Out for Gas Pain
The difference is in the details. I always apply the Gonstead method which is the most specific and precise of all chiropractic techniques and therefore the most effective. Such accuracy allows for:
Faster Results
Less time-consuming visits with more effective treatments
Improved Comfort
Enhanced comfort during the adjustments with precise technique
Longer-Lasting Relief

No Unnecessary Treatments
No inconsequential therapies - only what you need
I have dedicated thousands of hours to training with Gonstead techniques because I recognize the immense difference it makes, particularly for patients with digestive challenges. When experiencing daily gas pain and bloating, it is advisable to seek a practitioner who can provide solutions in an effective and timely manner.
The Science Behind Spinal Health And Digestion
The autonomic nervous system controls your digestive system functions and it emanates from your spinal cord. Stress, poor posture, and physical trauma can cause misaligned vertebrae which can compress or irritate the following nerve pathways:
Acid Secretion in the Stomach
Proper nerve function is essential for healthy stomach acid production
Intestinal Muscular Contraction
Nerve interference disrupts the natural movement of food through your system
Release of Digestive Enzymes
Spinal alignment affects enzyme production necessary for proper digestion
Elimination of Gas
Proper nerve communication is crucial for natural gas elimination processes
The gas pain, bloating, and irregular bowel movement caused by the above mentioned nerve interference are the result of misaligned spine. With Gonstead adjustments which correct the spine, proper nerve pathways are restored, hence normal digestive function is achieved.
What to Expect During Your First Visit
Dealing with digestive problems can be really challenging. Although everyone deals with their own problems, we try to make sure that all our chiropractic patients receive the best service possible. Allow me to tell you what to expect during the first visit.
Detailed Consultation
First, the patient will sit with me and discuss everything regarding gas pain for 15-20 minutes including patterns, triggers, what has been done in the past for relief, and any relevant medical history.
Orthopedic Assessment
Next, I'll conduct targeted orthopedic assessments to determine which segments of the spine are impacting your digestion. These tests are mild but immensely informative; they often reveal problem areas with precision.
Digital X-rays (If Needed)
If needed, I'll obtain digital X-rays to assess your spinal alignment. This insight allows me to identify the specific vertebrae that require adjustment and prepare the treatment plan accordingly.
First Gonstead Adjustment
At last, your first Gonstead adjustment will be delivered. Surprisingly to many, these adjustments are very gentle yet very effective. You will most likely notice a reduction in spinal tension right away, with improvements to digestion in 24 to 48 hours.
Beyond Gas Pain: Comprehensive Digestive Wellness
While your gas pain is the immediate focus, my approach is aimed at your entire digestive system. Here's what most patients notice:
Regular and Easier Bowel Movements
Restored nerve function leads to more consistent digestive patterns
Reduced Food Sensitivities
Better digestive function often reduces problematic food reactions
Improved Nutrient Absorption
Proper nerve communication enhances your body's ability to absorb nutrients
Less Acid Reflux
Corrected spinal alignment often reduces acid reflux symptoms
Greater Energy After Meals
Efficient digestion means more energy instead of post-meal fatigue
Better Stress Tolerance
Improved spine health enhances your ability to handle stress - a major digestive disruptor
This holistic approach is made possible because we're resolving the root issue concerning the neurology that controls digestion functions rather than mere symptoms.
