In order to have maximal good health, the body must be in it's proper alignment. Our operating system is a network of nerves which control everything that we do. A vital group of nerves located in the Lumbar Spine region are responsible for bowel and urinary control, as well as sexual functions. If anything happens to upset the lumbar nerves then these functions may be disturbed. Possible problems in this area can result from herniated discs or pinched nerves or even slight misalignment.
Pressure in the lumbar cluster can affect your disgestion. Since the lumbar nerves control peristalsis, pressure could reduce peristaltic action creating dysfunction in the bowel. A problem with these nerves can cause the following:
Loss of bowel control
Nausea
Pain across your abdomen
It may be that you only need a re-alignment to relieve pressure on this nerve cluster. Add a routine chiropractic exam and spinal alignment to your healthcare measures in order to care for the lumbar nerves. Your chiropractor can also suggest exercises to maintain your health in this area.
