If you’re dealing with bloating, stomach pain, cramping, discomfort, constipation, diarrhea, acid-reflux or appetite issues (low or high), acupuncture can help restore balance to your digestive system, improving comfort and function naturally. The gut is often referred to as “the second brain,” in traditional Chinese medicine because there exists a bi-directional communication network between the central nervous system and the “gut-brain” or enteric nervous system. Acupuncture helps regulate the central nervous system, allowing improved communication throughout the body. Additionally, it helps aid in nutrient absorption, triggers the release of digestive enzymes, improves blood circulation to the gut, reduces inflammation, balances gut microbial, and stimulates the release of endorphins and other pain relief chemicals.
The digestive system is sensitive to stress, diet, and lifestyle. While these factors impact our overall health and wellness, they are particularly noticeable in our digestive system because they can have an immediate impact on our quality of life on a day to day basis. When we are stressed, our bodies go into “fight or flight mode,” which quickly diverts our resources away from digestion. Acupuncture gently reminds our bodies to restore balance. We can help with the process by learning ways to decrease stress, eating more fiber and less refined sugar, and of course moving our bodies more. Acupuncture is your partner in the wellness journey.
Patients notice improved energy and relief from chronic digestive issues with regular treatments. Common digestive concerns we treat include: bloating, gas, or abdominal discomfort, constipation or irregular bowel movements, acid reflux or heartburn, post-meal fatigue or sluggish digestion, and stress-related digestive issues.
