How does a weak digestive system undermine the body’s overall health?

Weak digestion does more than cause discomfort in the abdomen.

Author: Dr. Elfana Suleymanova Medically reviewed

Gastroptosis (dropped stomach), bloating, constipation, low energy and vitamin and mineral deficiencies are the main consequences of this weakness.

Through osteopathy, the natural movement of the digestive organs is restored, blood and lymph circulation improves and the position of the stomach normalizes. This creates the conditions for the body to heal itself.

1

Constipation and heaviness in the abdomen

Constipation, heaviness and tension in the abdomen are not just discomfort — they also indicate that the body’s internal balance has been disrupted. During osteopathy and visceral therapy, bowel motility is restored, blood and lymph circulation improve, and tension in the abdominal cavity decreases.

2

Low back pain and digestion

If you wake up in the morning with low back pain and no pathology is found on X-ray or MRI, the cause of your low back pain may be related to the digestive system.


We look not at where the pain is, but at where it comes from.
