Discover how acupuncture can help restore balance to your digestive system, alleviate symptoms, and improve your overall well-being.

Overview of Treatment

Acupuncture, a key component of traditional Chinese medicine, focuses on promoting the body’s natural healing processes. By gently inserting fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body, acupuncture stimulates the flow of energy, known as Qi (pronounced “chee”), and encourages proper functioning of the digestive system. This approach helps to address the underlying causes of digestive disorders, reduce inflammation, regulate bowel movements, and restore digestive harmony.

Conditions Treated

Our acupuncture treatments effectively address a range of digestive disorders, including:

  • Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
  • Acid reflux and heartburn
  • Crohn’s disease
  • Constipation and diarrhea

During your initial consultation, our experienced acupuncturists will assess your specific condition, taking into consideration your symptoms, triggers, and any underlying factors contributing to your digestive disorder. This thorough evaluation allows us to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your individual needs and goals.

Treatment Process

During an acupuncture session for digestive disorders, you will lie comfortably on a treatment table. Our acupuncturist will gently insert fine, sterile needles into specific acupuncture points on your body. These points may be located on your abdomen, limbs, back, or ears, depending on your individual condition and treatment plan.

Once the needles are in place, you may experience a mild sensation, such as warmth or tingling, but the treatment is generally well-tolerated and minimally invasive. You will have an opportunity to relax while the needles remain in position for approximately 15 to 30 minutes. Many patients find this time to be calming and soothing.
