Digestive Disorders:
Digestive disorders are a group of illnesses that affect the digestive system. These illnesses can cause problems with food digestion, absorption, and elimination. Digestive disorders can also lead to other health problems, including weight gain and obesity.
Some common digestive disorders include irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis. Digestive disorders can be caused by a variety of things, including GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), Crohn’s disease, and celiac disease.
Osteopathy has been around for over 200 years and is a form of alternative medicine that uses manual manipulations to treat patients with digestive disorders.
Osteopathy is a type of treatment that focuses on the skeletal system to improve overall health and wellness. Osteopathy has been used to treat a variety of conditions, including digestive disorders such as constipation, IBS, and GERD.
Osteopathic techniques such as massage, stretching and manipulation are used to reduce muscle tension and increase circulation in the abdomen which can help alleviate symptoms of digestive disorders.
This increased flow of blood helps to bring oxygen and nutrients to the digestive organs, aiding in digestion.
Additionally, osteopaths may use cranial-sacral therapy or visceral manipulation to release tension from the diaphragm or abdominal muscles. These treatments can help reduce pain and discomfort associated with digestive disorders while also restoring balance in the body’s systems.
Osteopathic treatment for digestive disorders is an effective way to address underlying causes of these conditions and can result in improved overall health.
