Neurogastroenterology focuses on the relationship between the nervous and digestive systems.
One critical gastrointestinal (GI) function affected by the nervous system is motility, the coordination of muscles that move food through the digestive tract – from swallowing to defecation. Motility disorders include a variety of GI problems.
UT Southwestern Medical Center’s specialized multidisciplinary team – including neurogastroenterologists, gynecologists, surgeons, and physical therapists – expertly diagnoses and treats people suffering from every type of GI motility concern.
