Non-drug related solutions are needed for people suffering with digestive complaints. Millions of men and women suffer from digestive disorders in the United States, along with hundreds of millions worldwide. Treatment intervention usually involves medications or surgeries. Unfortunately, the cause is overlooked and successful results have not been achieved in the majority of cases. Chiropractic does not seek to cure.
