Causes of irritable bowel syndrome


Research into the causes of irritable bowel syndrome is ongoing. Known common causes include stress and food intolerance.

Osteopathic treatment


Osteopaths can help alleviate the stress related symptoms by stimulating and balancing your nervous system. Osteopaths will also release connective tissues around the stomach and bowel which may be restricting the absorption and movement of food through your digestive passage. Osteopaths will be able to assess your condition and offer advice on your personal needs, which may include a referral to a naturopath.
