The Problem: Many Approaches Focus Only on the “What”
Often, the medical community tends to assign labels to digestive health issues, believing that a diagnosis is sufficient for treatment. Unfortunately, this approach typically leads to only short-term relief of symptoms.
Some healthcare providers may prescribe pain medications and other drugs, expecting these to resolve the underlying issues. This method of treating only the symptoms is akin to covering the check engine light in your car with duct tape, hoping it will resolve the underlying mechanical problem.
Uncovering the Root Causes of Your Health Issues
It’s important to understand that an imbalanced gut microbiome can significantly impact your overall health. Many gastrointestinal disorders share symptoms like bloating, gas, irregular bowel movements, and abdominal discomfort. Those struggling with poor gut health may also experience cognitive fog, fatigue, mood disturbances, and other debilitating conditions.
A pivotal discovery in the 1990s revealed that our well-being is closely linked to the microbiome—a complex ecosystem of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and viruses residing in our bodies. Gut bacteria not only aid in food digestion but also strengthen the immune system, fight off harmful pathogens, and synthesize essential nutrients like B12, thiamine (B1), and riboflavin. They also play a crucial role in producing neurotransmitters necessary for optimal brain function.
Alleviating the disruptive symptoms of gut-related disorders often requires a specialized approach, especially when conventional treatments fall short. At Family Roots Chiropractic, our dedicated team of functional medicine practitioners is equipped to explore the underlying causes of your digestive issues, paving the way for a comprehensive and effective healing journey.
