The ileocecal valve is located between the small and large intestines. Its role is to prevent digested food from flowing back into the small intestine. When blocked in the wrong position, it can lead to waste buildup and increased toxicity in the body.
Signs and Symptoms of Ileocecal Dysfunction
- Non-traumatic shoulder paralysis
- Gout symptoms
- Chronic sore throat
- Torticollis
- Back pain
- Dark circles under the eyes
- Chest pain
- Pseudo-appendicitis
- Alternating constipation and diarrhea

How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Chiropractic adjustments restore proper communication between the brain and body, allowing optimal digestive function.
By correcting the biomechanics of the spine and skeletal system, organs have the proper space to function effectively.
Clearing nerve interference to the ileocecal valve ensures proper flow of digested food, prevents waste from returning to the small intestine, and supports toxin elimination.
