NeuroEmotional Technique (NET) & IBS

NET is a mind-body technique that finds and removes neurological imbalances related to the physiology of unresolved stress. NET is a tool that can help improve many behavioral and physical conditions as it's based on the physiological foundations of stress-related responses. As discovered in the late 1970s, emotional responses have physical manifestations.  Significantly, this process also happens when a person recalls to memory an event in which a stress originally occurred. 

This is a key factor in the NET treatment. NET addresses the emotional or stress factors, the effects of toxins on the body, the biochemistry factor of health, and the structural and physical corrections.

From Dr. Heidi, a NET Practitioner:

"NET is such an effective bio feedback technique for relieving the BODY of built up emotional stress.  I employ this technique daily and my patients love it! It is the Emotional piece of my visit so that I am including Structural, Biochemical and Emotional balancing each visit with patients as ACA article suggests."

Massage Therapy Effects on IBS

  

Traditional, relaxation-based Wellness Massage has proven to lessen IBS severity in many people.

Specific massage movements and massage on pressure points can be used to stimulate sluggish digestion in case of constipation, to relax abdominal muscles or to relieve bloating. Massage on acupressure points can also help to stimulate the colon. Some studies have shown that regular abdominal massage reduced gastrointestinal symptoms with regard to constipation and abdominal pain, and resulted in an increased number of bowel movements, although it may take up to two weeks to begin seeing the increase.

Massage also has another function in treating IBS: it's an effective way to relieve and to prevent stress and anxiety. The Touch Research Institute has supported several studies on the efficiency of massage therapy on a variety of health conditions, including stress and anxiety.

Treating IBS With Chiropractic Care

According to most medical doctors, IBS is a result of a dysfunction in the muscles of your intestines that causes the food to be moved through them either too fast or too slow.  This movement is controlled by your parasympathetic nervous system.  

The parasympathetic nerves exit your spine in your low back and go to the intestines.  If there is a problem with that area of your low back, it can affect how the intestinal muscles function. Chiropractic care addresses the dysfunction affecting the parasympathetic nervous system through specific spinal adjustments and unlike the medications, has no side effects.

Chiropractic care offers a holistic approach to care-assessing the patient's structural, biochemical and emotional state which can help IBS patients look beyond suppression of symptoms toward modulating the main contributing factors.

Subluxation Awareness

IBS Awareness

This month we are focusing on the awareness and natural treatment options for IBS.  Many people suffer needlessly with this condition.  Bouts of Constipation, gas, bloating, and diarrhea continue unresolved simply because the person does not have the correct information to heal themselves...UNTIL NOW!  If you or someone you know are dealing with inconsistent bowel movements and/or Irritable Bowel symptoms. many of your answers lie in the information in our monthly newsletter.  Simple dietary changes, regular spinal alignments and a commitment to stress reducing techniques have shown to be the MOST effective ways to treat and reduce the symptoms of IBS.

Keeping the gut healthy is paramount to good health.  We should all be having 1-3 firm, clean bowel movements per day.  If this is not happening, there is an intestinal problem that needs to be addressed.  Left unresolved it will lead to immune distress, vitamin & mineral deficiencies, fatigue, and overall ill health.  Don't let IBS or any intestinal imbalance rob you of good health.  Let us help!  Read the information in our newsletter and get moving toward better intestinal health!  Until our next adjustment...

  

Yours in Health,

Dr. Heidi & The InnerMovement Wellness Team
