Conditions - Gastrointestinal - Constipation and diarrhea
Patrick Massey MD, PhD ALT-MED Medical and Physical Therapy, Elk Grove Village Il and serving the Chicago area
Constipation and/or diarrhea are common medical conditions that most people believe they have to simply live with or endure. Many people, daily, take medications that are designed to relieve constipation and diarrhea…without any real answers or solutions...just more medications.
It is not normal for someone to have one bowel movement every 3-5-7 days. It is not normal for someone to have diarrhea on a daily basis. It is not normal to be taking medications on a daily basis for the symptoms. The symptoms are the signals that your gastrointestinal tract or sending you to tell you that something is wrong.
There can be many reasons for constipation and/or diarrhea. However, most patients with constipation and/or diarrhea never have a clear diagnosis nor a solution.

I was one of the many people suffering with back pain plus a herniated disc. The pain was so bad that I could not walk very far or sit for too long. Through "word of mouth" I heard of Dr. Patrick Massey. So I had my daughter make an appointment with the doctor....he recommended some exercises that were tailored for my body (and condition). I highly recommend Dr. Patrick Massey for back pain. Go and see him. What can you lose , only your back pain.
