Gastrointestinal Conditions
Find relief
Chinese and East Asian medicine doctors employ a holistic approach to address gastrointestinal disorders, encompassing modalities such as acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and personalized dietary and lifestyle recommendations. Gastrointestinal disorders encompass a range of conditions affecting the digestive system, including acute illness, gas and bloating, chronic constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), heart burn and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) to name a few. These disorders can manifest with symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, and acid reflux.
Acupuncture serves as a cornerstone of gastrointestinal treatment within this framework, with its precise insertion of needles aimed at regulating digestive function, reducing inflammation, and alleviating symptoms. By stimulating specific acupuncture points, practitioners can modulate the gut-brain axis, enhance gastrointestinal motility, and promote overall digestive health.

In conjunction with acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine plays a vital role in managing gastrointestinal disorders. Drawing upon a diverse pharmacopeia of botanical remedies, practitioners prescribe customized herbal formulations tailored to address the underlying imbalances contributing to digestive dysfunction. These herbal remedies are selected based on their therapeutic properties in soothing inflammation, regulating bowel movements, and restoring balance to the digestive system.
Additionally, with the use of the biofeedback machine, our doctors provide individualized guidance on supplements, dietary modifications and lifestyle adjustments to complement acupuncture and herbal interventions. By emphasizing gut-friendly nutrition, stress management techniques, and lifestyle practices conducive to digestive health, individuals can alleviate symptoms and optimize gastrointestinal function.
Through this integrative approach, our East Asian medicine doctors offer holistic support for individuals struggling with gastrointestinal disorders, addressing both the symptomatic manifestations and the underlying factors contributing to digestive imbalances. By fostering balance within the digestive system and promoting overall well-being, individuals can achieve relief from gastrointestinal symptoms and improve their quality of life.
“Ever since I can remember I have had heartburn. I just thought that was how it was - that is until I started being treated by the doctor’s here. I actually came in for shoulder pain, but they aren’t like other doctor’s, I wasn’t just a shoulder. They wanted to know all about everything and so while my shoulder pain was treated and subsequently went away, so did my heart burn! I don’t need the meds I was using anymore. I even go to the bathroom everyday now, I didn’t realize only going 3x a week wasn’t good. My energy is up. I am feeling good! Can’t recommend enough.”
