When we become overly stressed, our bodies store this stress physiologically and when these patterns persist, the body begins to exhibit symptoms. “In terms of a digestive disorder like Ulcerative colitis, our body is letting us know that the parasympathetic and sympathetic activity are seriously out of balance…An adjustment to the bones and soft connective tissue will relieve this pressure and the nervous system messages can begin to coordinate more easily with the actual digestive tract. When the body is addressed as a whole entity a true sense of balance can begin to unfold” said Dr. Kenda Burke, Chiropractor and Certified Doula.1
