Irritable bowel syndrome and ulcerative colitis

How does IBS manifest itself?

IBS is very common: according to various sources, it affects 10 to 20% of the population. The most common symptoms include:

• pain or discomfort in the abdomen,

• flatulence,

• disorders of bowel movements (diarrhea, constipation or their alternation),

• mucus discharge from the intestines.

These symptoms are usually exacerbated by stress or emotional tension. Often, IBS is accompanied by other conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, headaches, or back pain.

Psychological features of PCOS

Many patients with IBS have a certain psychological profile:

• increased anxiety and distrust,

• pedantry, moralism,

• Difficulty expressing emotions (alexithymia),

• a tendency to obsessive thoughts,

• dependence on the opinions of others.

In some people, the first symptoms of PKD appear in childhood as a reaction to a difficult relationship with their parents. Panic attacks, chronic anxiety, or depression are also common.

Why doesn't traditional treatment always work?

Treatment with medications aimed only at intestinal symptoms often has a short-term effect. The real cause - a disruption of the brain-gut connection - is left untreated. That is why it is important to work with both the body and the mind at the same time.

How can we help?

We offer a comprehensive approach to the treatment of IBS and related conditions such as ulcerative colitis (UC):

• Psychotherapy - helps to realize internal conflicts and learn to cope with stress better.

• Transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) - affects the areas of the brain associated with bowel regulation, helping to reduce the excitement of the nervous system.

• Ketamine therapy - is a modern method that affects NMDA receptors and helps reduce visceral sensitivity and chronic pain.

• Neurohelpbrain rehabilitation - individual programs to stabilize the nervous system.

• Body-oriented therapy and art therapy help to gently work with bodily manifestations of emotions and reduce the overall level of anxiety.

The result?

Comprehensive treatment helps to significantly improve the quality of life, reduce or completely eliminate symptoms, and regain control over the body and emotions. We don't just treat symptoms - we help to find and eliminate their underlying causes.
