Discover a Variety of Treatments
There are a number of treatments and procedures to help you overcome the difficulties you’ve been experiencing with IBD. Let’s schedule a good time for you to sit down with one of our specialists and discuss your best path forward for healing and getting back to a normal life.
-
Medical Management
Treatment usually begins with the prescription of antibiotics and, at times, more complex anti-inflammatory medications to correct your condition. Other medications include aminosalicylates, corticosteroids, immunomodulators and biologic therapy drugs. As always, every treatment plan is customized to meet your individual needs.
-
Lifestyle Management
The next step of your treatment plan often involves simple new eating habits. While IBD isn’t caused or cured by diet, we believe that infusing more cooked vegetables, lean meats, poultry and other select foods into your regimen will reduce your symptoms and make life easier for you every day.
-
Surgical Management
It’s true that medication and dietary adjustments are not always enough for every case of IBD. Surgery may be required, and it can often cure your condition. Although many can find relief with medication and changes in their diet, sometimes surgery is the best option for care in certain cases. After discussing it together, your doctor will explain the range of various treatment techniques, and determine which ones are right for you.
-
Endoscopic Management
You may decide on a follow-up endoscopic balloon dilation procedure after your initial surgery to reduce postoperative risk. Not only is this procedure minimally invasive, it’s been proven to enhance the preservation of your bowel tissue. Please consult your doctor to learn the best treatment strategy for you.
