Acid Reflux Solved with Chiropractic Care
Acid Reflux Issues Can Begin At Birth
Research published in the Journal of Pediatric, Maternal & Family Health on May 9, 2009 documented the cases of 16 infants who were suffering with colic or acid reflux and got complete resolution of their symptoms with chiropractic care. In this study, seven of the infants were diagnosed by a medical physician with colic, while nine had been diagnosed with acid reflux prior to receiving chiropractic care. The infants in this study ranged in age from two weeks to eleven months.
Of the 16 infants a history of birth trauma was reported in 10 of the cases. Upon examination, upper cervical (neck) subluxations were determined to be present in all 16 cases. In this study chiropractic care was rendered for 2 to 6 weeks on the various infants with all patients showing a complete resolution of their symptoms in that time frame.
The neck and back vertebrae of your baby can go out of alignment during the birth process. This is particularly true if your baby's delivery included forceps or a vacuum extraction, if the baby was delivered by a C- section, or if you needed to push the baby out for an extended period of time. If your baby suffers from reflux, chiropractic care can readjust any misalignment your baby may have suffered during his birth.
Proper Chiropractic Care can help solve Acid Reflux Issues
The gut has so many nerve cells contained in the tissue lining of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine and colon, it is often referred to as the second brain or “abdominal brain”. In fact there are over one million nerve cells in the small intestine, a number equaling the number of nerve cells in the spinal cord. If we add the nerve cells of the esophagus, stomach and large intestine, there are more nerve cells in the gut than there are in the entire remainder of the peripheral nervous system.
Correcting the underlying cause, vertebral misalignment, with chiropractic adjustments can restore proper communication between the brain and the gut, and may reduce or eliminate many of these gastrointestinal problems.
