What Causes Pain From Irritable Bowel Syndrome?
The exact cause of IBS isn’t known. However, various factors are believed to contribute to the disorder. For example, IBS has been linked to a surplus of bacteria in the intestines, changes in gut microbes, issues with the nervous system, muscle contractions in the intestines that are too strong or weak, and even early life stress.
Several types of pain are associated with IBS, including cramping, bloating, gas, and abdominal pain. The severity of these symptoms can vary from one person to the next. The type of pain experienced may also depend on the type of IBS (diarrhea-predominant, constipation-predominant, or mixed), generally determined by the individual’s bowel habits.
Pain is caused by the digestive tract muscles becoming too active and contracting more frequently, leading to cramping. This can also cause gas, bloating, and changes in bowel movements. The psychological effects of IBS, such as stress and anxiety, can further increase the symptoms.
The Next Pain Approach For Irritable Bowel Syndrome Pain
At NextPain Care, we recognize the complexities of managing IBS and offer a comprehensive approach to help alleviate your symptoms and improve your quality of life. Our treatment modalities include:
Mindfulness and Meditation for Chronic Pain
Mindfulness and meditation techniques can significantly reduce stress and anxiety, which are known triggers for IBS symptoms. By incorporating these practices, patients can achieve a state of relaxation, helping to manage pain and improve overall well-being.
Nerve blocks involve the injection of medications around specific nerves to reduce pain signals from the digestive tract. This procedure may help reduce chronic abdominal pain associated with IBS, aiming to help patients return to their normal activities.
Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat generated by radio waves to target and disable nerves causing pain. This treatment has shown to provide patients long-lasting relief from IBS-related pain, reducing the frequency and severity of their symptoms.
