Bowel

Constipation is one of the easiest conditions we treat. …

Simple strategies such as re-training how you use your muscles to more easily empty your colon can provide quick recovery. Fecal incontinence, or loss of stool, can also be treated but may require a little more time to improve. Bowel dysfunction can be so severe that it’s easier to stay home than to deal with the challenges of finding a toilet at short notice or trying to hide bowel leakage. Research tells us that bowel leakage is very isolating, yet the opportunities offered by rehabilitation should absolutely be exhausted prior to choosing invasive procedures. Bowel diseases or functional GI (gastrointestinal) issues can be severely painful and medically challenging, and we can work with your medical providers to improve quality of life.
