How Acupuncture Relieves Digestive Health Issues
Acupuncture is an effective therapy for treating both the symptoms and root causes of complex gastrointestinal (GI) disorders including Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Bloating, Constipation, diarrhea, acid reflux and colitis.
Acupuncture is effective because it helps relax the nervous system, reduces inflammation in the intestines and regulates gut motility among other actions.

- Irritable Bowel syndrome
- Chronic Constipation
- Crohn’s Disease
- Ulcerative Colitis
- Irritable Bowel Disease
- Chronic Diarrhea/ Loose Stool
- Acid Reflux
- SIBO
- Nausea and Vomiting
Your initial consultation is free. Come meet us in person and learn more.

You’ll return for regular visits to continue supporting your body as it responds to treatment. We want to make sure your treatment plan is yielding the expected results.

Results that stick
The vast majority of patients don’t need long-term maintenance. Once their condition is resolved, it stays that way. Our goal is to get you to the point where you don’t need us!
We treat you, not your diagnosis
No extreme diets or impossible detox programs
We focus on the two or three key dietary shifts that will actually make a difference for you. No rigid meal plans, no crash detoxes — just practical changes that fit your real life. Our program is all about setting you up to succeed. We find the 2 or 3 “key leverage points” in your diet and work on those. No impossible to follow meal plans or detoxes here.
Minimal disruption to your schedule
Most of our patients are able to get great results with one- two sessions weekly. We can discuss this in more detail at your free consultation.
