Episode 32: How Does Scoliosis Affect The Digestive System?
Subscribe:
One of the common questions usually asked by Scoliosis patients is how Scoliosis affects their digestive system as they go through life.
It happens 3 Main Ways:
- Neurologically
- Structurally
- Motion and Mobility of the Spine
Scoliosis may appear to have a direct impact because the central nervous system of the body is formed by the brain and spine, and its effects are felt throughout the body.
If a spinal problem like Scoliosis is interfering with the nerves and their capacity to transmit and receive information, it can have an effect on many systems at work within the body.
Every time a person eats, their nerves send a signal to the digestive tract to begin a series of processes.
Both the spinal cord and neurology are impacted when the vertebrae in the spine begin to shift out of place as a result of the emergence of a scoliotic curve.
The digestive system must be operating properly on all levels including:
- intake
- secretion
- mixing and movement
- digesting
- absorption
- excretion
This is in order for the body to effectively benefit from the food that enters it.
