Power Healing

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional bowel disorder that is characterized by a change in bowel habits with features of disordered defecation and bowel distention in the absence of any demonstrable causes. Chronic or recurrent gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms associated with this disorder include stool urgency, abdominal fullness, bloating, diarrhea alternating with constipation, and abdominal cramps that are relieved with defecation.

Traditionally, IBS has been treated symptomatically with agents that relax the intestinal smooth muscle to relieve abdominal cramps that are associated with muscle spasms (Bentyl, Levsin, or Levsinex), antidepressants to target associated depression and anxiety (SSRIs such as Prozac or Paxil) in patients who exhibit those co-morbid conditions, antidiarrheal agents in patients who have diarrhea (Lomotil or Immodium), and bulk-forming laxatives and fiber (Metamucil or guar gum) in patients who have constipation.

When a patient comes to Power Healing, they will find a multitude of both Traditional and Complementary options for the management of IBS. The response to treatment varies from individual to individual, and depends upon one's healing ability. Some people may only need a few treatments while others may need 12 or more. The average number of treatments is 6-12. The best thing to do is get an evaluation by your physician at Power Healing, & see if you are an appropriate candidate. Because the complexity involved in suppressing symptoms can appear daunting, when you join Power Healing, your physician will guide & tailor your treatment for you. The benefits a person can find when you enroll with Power Healing can include reduction in the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, dementia, osteoporosis, arthritis, and a host of degenerative diseases associated with aging.
