College Park Chiropractic Care for Crohn’s Disease

Dec 1, 2016

The first week of December is recognized as National Crohn’s and Colitis Awareness Week.

According to the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America, more than 1.4 million Americans suffer from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which causes severe inflammation in the lining of the digestive tract.

Though most people who suffer from Crohn’s disease experience similar symptoms as those who suffer from ulcerative colitis, these two diseases are not the same.

And, while there is currently no cure for Crohn’s disease, the Chiropractors at AICA College Park can offer specific treatment solutions that reduce, and possibly eliminate the pain.

Chiropractic Treats Crohn’s Disease Symptoms

It is well known that Crohn’s disease results in substantial inflammation along the lining of the bowel tissues. This type of inflammation can be extremely uncomfortable, if not unbearable, and often results in:

  • Extreme fatigue
  • Malnutrition
  • Persistent diarrhea
  • Severe abdominal pain
  • Significant weight loss

The Chiropractors at AICA College Park can treat these symptoms through conservative, non-invasive treatment solutions that include Chiropractic Adjustments.

College Park Chiropractic Treatment for Crohn’s Disease

Approximately 51 percent of patients who suffer from IBD use some complementary treatment solution to treat their pain.

According to a study published in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxations Research, patients that receive regular Chiropractic Adjustments display long-term stability when it comes to symptom management.

The study also determined that vertebral subluxations are often found in Crohn’s patients, supporting the notion that adjustments are useful for curtailing, if not eliminating, symptoms.

Beyond offering specialized treatment solutions, Chiropractors are also able to provide critical advice on personal diet plans.

Foods containing high volumes of anti-inflammatory nutrients (e.g. salmon) are excellent for treating the symptoms related to Crohn’s disease and IBD. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, patients who do not consume fish oil on a consistent basis are twice as likely to experience painful symptoms compared to those who did take fish oil supplements on a regular basis.
