Everyone
suffers from the occasional bowel disturbance, but for sufferers
of Irritable Bowel Syndrome, symptoms of this disorder may be
more pronounced or occur regularly. IBS occurs when the muscles
in your intestines contract faster or slower than normal - causing
pain, cramping, gassiness, bloating, constipation and/or sudden
bouts of diarrhea. Between 10-20% of the population experiences
IBS.
IBS is also referred to as spastic colon, mucous
colitis, spastic colitis, nervous stomach or irritable colon.
Whatever the name, it is important that your intestinal/digestive
system is healthy, so food is properly broken down into the nutrients
that your body needs and absorbs, providing fuel to function.
If your intestinal system is not working as it should,
this can cause damage to the lining of your intestinal tract,
which could hinder digestion and absorption and lead to more serious
health problems down the road.
IBS has many underlying causes that can often be
successfully treated with alternative therapies. Spinal manipulation
may improve symptoms of IBS in some individuals, creating a balancing
effect on the nerves that supply impulses to the intestinal tract.
