If your digestion feels “off,” your nervous system might be part of the reason.

From heartburn to bloating, constipation, or irregular digestion—these problems often trace back to how your brain communicates with your gut.

At Body Traxx Chiropractic in Pflugerville, we focus on improving that communication through the spine, helping your body function naturally and efficiently from the inside out.

How the Nervous System Affects Digestion

Your digestive system is controlled by your enteric nervous system, sometimes called your body’s “second brain.”

This vast network of nerves regulates how food moves, how nutrients are absorbed, and how waste exits the body.
When that system is disrupted—often by stress, spinal misalignments, or poor posture—communication between your brain and digestive organs can become distorted.

That can lead to:

• 💨 Gas or bloating
• ⚡ Acid reflux or heartburn
• 🚫 Constipation or sluggish digestion
• 💩 Irregular bowel movements
• 🤢 Nausea or stomach discomfort

Your gut depends on a clear line of communication with your nervous system to function properly.

The Chiropractic Connection

The nerves that control your stomach, intestines, and other digestive organs branch out from your thoracic and lumbar spine.

When those spinal areas are misaligned, nerve interference can affect how signals travel to your digestive organs—impacting motility, enzyme production, and overall comfort.

Gentle Chiropractic adjustments help restore normal nerve flow, allowing your brain and body to coordinate digestion the way they were designed to.

Patients often report improvements such as:
✅ Less bloating and heartburn
✅ More regular digestion
✅ Improved energy after meals
✅ Fewer stress-related stomach issues

Natural Support for a Healthier Gut

Along with Chiropractic Care, here are ways to support better digestion naturally:

• 🥦 Eat slowly and chew thoroughly
• 💧 Stay hydrated throughout the day
• 🚶‍♂️ Move regularly to stimulate digestion
• 😌 Manage stress and breathe deeply before meals
• 🍎 Choose whole foods over processed ones

When your nervous system works freely, your body can digest, absorb, and eliminate exactly as it was meant to—no extra effort required.

Your Gut–Brain Connection Matters

At Body Traxx Chiropractic, we see digestion not as a separate system, but as part of your body’s whole network of communication.
When your spine is aligned and your nervous system is balanced, every part of you—including your gut—can function better.
