Understanding the Root Causes of IBS Symptoms
IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) can disrupt daily life with persistent bloating, gas, discomfort, and unpredictable digestion. We understand that IBS isn’t always just a gut issue—it’s often a reflection of deeper imbalances involving your nervous system, diaphragm function, trauma history, and gut-brain connection.
Instead of suppressing symptoms, our root-cause approach investigates why your digestion is reactive in the first place. This includes evaluating muscle tone, breath mechanics, and the microbial ecosystem of your gut.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment with a Whole-Body Approach
We work with patients experiencing:
- Chronic bloating or abdominal distention (especially after meals)
- Gas, constipation, or diarrhea without clear food triggers
- Abdominal tension or “guarding” that doesn’t resolve with standard treatment
- IBS symptoms that worsen with stress, anxiety, or trauma
- Normal imaging or colonoscopy results, but continued discomfort
Stepwise Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment Process
We approach Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) through a stepwise, integrative lens—focused on restoring digestive function, calming the nervous system, and addressing whole-body patterns that contribute to bloating, pain, and discomfort.
Comprehensive Gut & Microbiome Testing
We begin with a detailed analysis of your digestive health, gut flora, and inflammation markers. Microbiome testing helps uncover hidden imbalances such as SIBO, candida overgrowth, or low digestive enzyme output that may be silently driving IBS symptoms.
Core Function and Diaphragm Assessment
Many Irritable Bowel Syndrome patients carry unconscious tension in the diaphragm, abdominal wall, or pelvic floor. During your session, we evaluate breath mechanics, muscle tone, and core coordination using Hands-on Integrative Myofascial Release (HIMR) designed to reduce abdominal pressure and support parasympathetic regulation.
Personalized Functional Care Plan
Your personalized care plan blends microbial support, nervous system regulation, and body-based interventions. When appropriate, we collaborate with trauma-informed somatic therapists or extend care through our broader functional medicine approach to address the emotional and neurological dimensions of IBS.
Benefits of Our Integrative IBS Treatment Model
Most conventional care focuses on dietary tweaks or symptom tracking. At Internal Healing & Wellness MD, we go deeper—because true healing often requires nervous system regulation, trauma release, and restoring functional movement patterns in the core and diaphragm.
By combining bodywork, breath retraining, and microbiome support, we help patients:
- Reduce chronic bloating and abdominal tension
- Improve digestion without relying on restrictive diets
- Build resilience to emotional or stress-related flare-ups
- Feel more connected and in control of their body
