Does Acupuncture Help Digestion?

The thought of receiving an acupuncture treatment doesn’t typically invoke pleasant feelings, especially for people who may have a fear of needles. However, acupuncture is often misunderstood. It isn’t just for celebrities, it isn’t all in your head, and it actually isn’t painful.

If you are experiencing uncomfortable digestive problems, even serious disorders such as Crohn’s disease or Irritable Bowel Syndrome, don’t miss out on the potential benefits of acupuncture. Instead, take a few minutes to imagine what it might be like to have many of your painful symptoms go away almost entirely—then call (732) 333-6360 to speak to an experienced clinician at ProFysio Physical Therapy about your options.

Acupuncture Can Help Treat Painful Digestive Problems

Acupuncture has been known to help with digestive issues and can alleviate your painful, uncomfortable symptoms, even if those symptoms are related to a chronic problem, disorder, or disease of some kind. If you suffer from any of the following problems, acupuncture may provide some relief:

  • Acid reflux
  • Bacterial infection
  • Bleeding of the digestive tract
  • Bloating
  • Constipation
  • Diarrhea
  • Diverticulitis
  • Heartburn
  • Hiatus Hernia Syndrome
  • Indigestion
  • Inflammation

How Acupuncture Can Help with Digestive Issues

Acupuncture can help reduce your discomfort and pain by improving the flow of important fluids and nutrients to all the important organs in your digestive tract. This can reduce inflammation in organs such as the stomach, pancreas, and more, thereby alleviating pain and allowing the digestive system to function as it should. When this occurs, it can also reduce stress and give patients an energy boost.

Sometimes digestive issues can be the result of high stress levels or insufficient sleep, while the reverse may be true in other cases. Stress is a common culprit in cases of constipation, stomach ulcers, inflammatory bowel syndrome, and more. Acupuncture makes for a great solution in cases where the two are intertwined, as acupuncture is also known to help patients more effectively manage stress and negative emotions.
