Digestive disorders range from hemorrhoids to “heart burn” to loss of appetite, and everything in between. One common Western diagnosis given to people with chronic diarrhea, constipation or abdominal pain is Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). This complex disorder that afflicts up to 20% of the world’s population! You may have heard IBS be referred to as an “incurable disease” by your physician. Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine can offer a safe, effective, natural, and drug-free way to address IBS and other digestive disorders by getting to the root of the problem. My goal is to assess the entire constitution of the patient – considering physiological, psychological, and lifestyle aspects. Digestive symptoms may be triggered by stress, diet, emotional factors, hormone levels, and medications so it is important to conduct a through medical history and physical exam to discover the origin of these symptoms.
An initial visit includes:
· A through medical history
· A physical exam
· An acupuncture treatment
· A comprehensive treatment plan outlining recommendations for acupuncture, herbal formulas, massage, dietary/lifestyle changes and nutritional supplements
· Plus, laboratory tests if applicable such as:
o Food Allergies and Sensitivities Testing
o Digestive Analysis
o Microbiology and Parasite Tests
You don’t have to keep suffering!
· A study from the Guangxi College of Traditional Chinese Medicine concluded that acupuncture was effective in the treatment of chronic gastritis, resulting in a 95% effective rate!
· An Australian study published in 1998 in the Journal of the American Medical Association lends strong scientific support to treating IBS with Chinese herbs.
