What Digestive Conditions Can Acupuncture Help?

Acupuncture is helpful for a multitude of digestive conditions and can also reduce generalized bloating, abdominal pain, and irregular bowel movements that aren’t associated with any particular condition.

Acupuncture can help manage the symptoms of a number of different digestive conditions:

  • Crohn’s Disease
  • Ulcerative Colitis
  • Celiac’s Disease
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome

What symptoms can acupuncture help?

  • Bloating
  • Digestive pain/cramping/discomfort
  • Constipation
  • Diarrhea
  • Irregular bowel movements

Basically, if you have any kind of digestive discomfort, it’s pretty likely that acupuncture can help!

It’s also been suggested that acupuncture can help with “leaky gut syndrome,” i.e., strengthening the mucosal barrier of the digestive tract. Read about that here!

In a 2007 systematic review in the World Journal of Gastroenterology, found here, it was found that acupuncture improved quality of life for IBS, Crohn’s and Ulcerative colitis patients in each study they reviewed.

If you’re struggling with digestive issues, acupuncture may be able to help! 

As always, hit reply with your questions. I’m more than happy to help.
