Digestive conditions 



Acupuncture and Chinese dietary therapy are very effective in the treatment of a wide range of digestive problems:

• Abdominal Bloating
• Colitis
• Constipation
• Diarrhea
• Digestive Problems
• Gastritis
• Hemmorrhoids
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome
• Crohn’s disease

There are often few conventional treatment options for managing digestive disorders. 

The digestive system in traditional Chinese medicine is the centre around which the body functions or the ‘middle’ around which everything rotates.  Proper functioning of the “middle” is the key to all aspects of vitality.  What we eat, when we eat and how we eat all effect the efficiency and vitality of our body.  Our diet, alongside the air we breath, is the source of the energy that we use each day. 

Acupuncture works to:

• reduce pain and bloating
• stimulate or inhibit gastric and intestinal contractions, stimulating or inhibiting secretions of the digestive cells
• relieve inflammation
• regulate vascular smooth muscle tone to relieve pain and improve peristaltic coordination
• improve musculoskeletal condition and improve posture to decrease intra-abdominal pressure.
