Integrative Medicine for Digestive Disorders

What are Digestive Disorders

A healthy gut isn’t just about having good digestion, it’s about keeping your immune system and cognitive health in tip-top shape.

Not only is the gut responsible for the intake and absorption of nutrients and water, but it’s also responsible for eliminating harmful waste and toxins from the body. Because 70-80% of the immune system is located in the intestines, when gut health is compromised your overall health, wellbeing and vitality are too.

How can Integrative Medicine help?

When we see patients with digestive disorders at our Center, we use a functional medicine approach to look for signs of inflammation in the gut, food sensitivities, and infections.

Once the cause(s) of your symptoms are identified we work with patients to put together a holistic, integrative treatment plan that may include dietary and nutritional changes, mind-body approaches, acupuncture, osteopathic manual therapy, and supplementation to heal the gut and restore balance.

Digestive disorders can be complex conditions with far-reaching effects when left untreated making it crucial to get an accurate diagnosis from the start. We have years of experience identifying and treating disorders such as Crohn’s Disease or Ulcerative Colitis,  Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), Gastro-esophageal reflux syndrome (GERD), or the presence of another underlying autoimmune condition that may be contributing to your symptoms.
