Indigestion
Can Chiropractic help with indigestion?
Indigestion can be influenced by dysfunction in the vagus nerve, which plays a crucial role in regulating digestion. The upper cervical spine, particularly the atlas (C1) vertebra, is closely connected to the function of the vagus nerve. Misalignments or subluxations in this area can create interference with nerve signals traveling along the vagus nerve pathway.
Advanced HIO Knee Chest upper cervical chiropractic focuses on correcting misalignments in the upper cervical spine, including the atlas vertebra. By carefully adjusting these misalignments, this form of chiropractic care can help to alleviate pressure on the vagus nerve, restoring proper nerve function and promoting better communication between the brain and the digestive system. This may lead to improved digestion and reduced symptoms of indigestion.
