Living with Crohn’s disease can bring daily challenges, from digestive discomfort to fatigue and inflammation. While medical care often focuses on managing the symptoms through diet, medication, or lifestyle changes, many individuals are seeking additional support to help their bodies function at their best. At Bare Chiropractic, we understand that Crohn’s affects more than just the digestive tract—it impacts your whole life. As your local Billings chiropractor, Dr. Thomas Keogh takes a holistic approach to supporting those living with chronic conditions like Crohn’s.
Understanding Crohn’s and the Nervous System
Crohn’s disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes chronic inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms can range from abdominal pain and cramping to fatigue, weight loss, and nutrient deficiencies. What many don’t realize is that the gut is closely connected to the nervous system. The brain and gut communicate constantly, and any disruption in that communication can influence how the digestive system operates.
Chiropractic adjustments are focused on supporting spinal alignment and optimizing nervous system function. When the spine is misaligned, it can interfere with the body’s ability to process and manage inflammation, digestion, and stress—all key factors in Crohn’s disease.
When communication between the brain and gut is improved, the body may function more efficiently. Over time, this can contribute to a more balanced and resilient internal environment, which is especially beneficial for individuals navigating chronic digestive issues.
How Chiropractic Can Help Support Wellness with Crohn’s
Chiropractic care doesn’t aim to “treat” Crohn’s disease, but rather to support the body’s natural ability to heal and adapt. By improving spinal function and reducing nervous system interference, adjustments may help reduce tension in the body, encourage better digestion, and improve how the body responds to stress and inflammation.
Many individuals with Crohn’s report increased comfort, better mobility, and improved quality of life when chiropractic care is part of their wellness routine. With a focus on gentle, specific adjustments, Dr. Thomas Keogh works with each individual to support their body’s unique needs and help create a stronger foundation for overall health.
