In Traditional Chinese Medical literature, holistic health and wellness is rooted in healthy digestion. Without our body’s ability to effectively process nutrients from our food, we lack the energy and focus to make it through the day. People suffering from chronic digestive trouble know this all too well. They may feel sluggish, irritable, and suffer from brain fog or difficulty focusing, saying nothing of the uncomfortable digestive symptoms that are at the root of this imbalance.

​

When digestive trouble interrupts our day-to-day health and wellness, acupuncture is an effective way of encouraging the body to return to balance. Whether you’re suffering from an upset stomach, nausea and vomiting, or frequent belching, flatulence, heartburn or GERD symptoms, acupuncture works to calm patterns of irritation or inflammation that are frequently at the root of these issues. 

​

We do so by stimulating the body’s autonomic nervous system, which in turn encourages healthy peristalsis, or movement, of the digestive track. For folks suffering from more chronic or inflammatory digestive trouble, a holistic approach including traditional Chinese medical dietary and lifestyle recommendations may be indicated. 

​

As with all health conditions, digestive support is designed to complement the existing course of treatment recommended by our patients’ other healthcare providers, as well as what patients have found to be helpful in observing their own symptoms.
