IBS-C Treatment Manhattan | Gonstead Chiropractic for Constipation Relief

Why Traditional IBS-C Treatments Fall Short

A combination of medication, restrictive diets, and one-size-fits-all advice seem to be the focus of treating IBS-C, alongside other professional practices. There is a flaw in this approach which needs to be addressed: your nervous system controls your digestive system. If there are spinal misalignment caused interferences with nerve pathways to the intestines, no medication or fiber will resolve the problem.

IBS-C patients keep coming to me from all over the Manhattan area as there seems to be no end to conventional treatments offered. What sets me apart is the solutions I provide using the Gonstead technique. It is different because it concentrates on the thoracic and lumbar portions of the spine that encase the nerves to the intestines and therefore influences their movement.

Your Spine and IBS-C: The Secret Link

Your spine and gut have greater relations than you tend to think. The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are responsible for regulating the production of gastric acid, stomach intestines and contractions. With vertebral subluxations in the T5-T12 thoracic and L1-L3 lumbar areas, there is nerve "interference" that affects these important processes.

This nerve interference causes the following:

• Reduced movement in the intestines
• Bowel movement irregularities regardless of dietary changes
• Bloating and abdominal discomfort
• Gas retention and digestive sluggishness
• Chronic inflammation in the digestive tract

Benefits of Gonstead Chiropractic Care for IBS-C

My Gonstead Procedures and Techniques

Initial Detailed Assessment

For your first visit, I perform a complete spinal evaluation utilizing Gonstead Techniques of observation, instrumentation, static and motion palpation, and imaging if needed. This helps reveal the precise locations and patterns of nerve interference for more tailored optimization of the patient's digestive processes.

Accurate Gonstead Adjustments

Using Gonstead's distinctive approach to spinal setup for adjustments, each segment is individually and accurately adjusted as required. His approach is unique in that no twisting, popping, or general manipulation is applied instead only specific scientific corrections are provided.

Incorporating Lifestyle Choices and Exercises

In addition to spinal adjustments, I offer guidance on:

• Special exercises that facilitate the proper alignment of the spine and support the functioning of the digestive system
• Modification of work and daily activities ergonomics
• Stress management impact on gut health
• Nutrition guidance that complements chiropractic care

Advanced Care Planning

I customize your treatment plan to your spinal findings and symptom severity. Most IBS-C patients start with 2-3 visits per week for the first 4-6 weeks and then shift to maintenance care as improvements stabilize.

Investment in Your Digestive Health

Quality healthcare requires investment. I do not accept insurance so that I can dedicate the necessary time and attention your condition requires. The fee structure is designed to reflect the specialized nature of the Gonstead technique and the thoroughness of care provided.

The investment in resolving the underlying issues of IBS-C is often found to be more economical than years spent on medications, supplements, and treatments that provide no more than superficial relief.

Why the Gonstead Technique Works When Others Fail

The Gonstead System's precision, along with its scientific accuracy, explains why some patients are successful with digestive disorders like IBS-C. Unlike general spinal adjustments, I target specific vertebrae that interfere with the nerves leading to your digestive organs. Because of this precision:

• Quicker improvement in symptoms because correction is effective
• More reliable changes since each adjustment is purposeful
• Less time needed due to efficiency compared to guesswork
• Less chance of worsening symptoms due to improper adjustments

Many of my patients suffering from IBS-C have consulted other chiropractors, acupuncturists, massage therapists, and even multiple medical professionals. Time and again, people are left amazed with the difference the Gonstead technique does; finally, the underlying neurological cause of their problem is being treated.

The Scientific Evidence Supporting Spinal Health in IBS-C

The body of research demonstrates the link between the spine and digestion is deep. Spinal levels T10-12 and L1 contain nerve roots supplying the large intestine. If these vertebrae are misaligned, the resultant nerve interference from these vertebrae can have a significant effect on:

• The contraction of smooth muscle of the intestine
• The secretion of digestive enzymes
• Blood circulation to abdominal organs
• Gut inflammation/immune responses
• Overall gut-brain axis communication

With the Gonstead technique, I precisely focus on all these pathways which is why patients notice changes in symptoms with treatments that other techniques haven't provided with IBS-C.
