Acupuncture for Digestion Issues

Symptoms like bloating, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, cramping, and abdominal pain are an indication that things are not moving through the digestive tract efficiently. The root cause of many digestive issues is often chronic stress, improper diet, poor sleep habits, and other lifestyle issues.

Acupuncture helps by balancing the gut-brain axis and the nervous system to reduce stress, which in turn improves digestive function. One of the side effects of an overactive sympathetic nervous system is decreased digestive function. Acupuncture also help reduce pain and inflammation which helps regulate stomach acid and promote peristalsis.

Acupuncture can help with the following digestive issues (and others):

• Bloating

• Constipation

• Diarrhea

• Nausea and vomiting

• Abdominal pain

• IBS

• Crohn’s disease
