Acupuncture for Digestive Health
Acupuncture and herbal medicine for IBS, reflux, bloating, and the gut-brain patterns that sustain them, at our Silver Lake, Los Angeles practice.
Digestive patterns we address.
Gut-brain regulation for the patterns that respond well to combined acupuncture, herbs, and dietary guidance.
The mechanisms behind the results.
Gut motility regulation
Acupuncture at the abdomen and lower leg modulates the enteric nervous system, normalizing transit time in both constipation-dominant and diarrhea-dominant patterns.
Vagus nerve stimulation
Points along the ear and abdomen stimulate the vagus nerve, the primary communication pathway between the gut and brain, improving digestive coordination and reducing hypersensitivity.
Spleen & Stomach support
Chinese medicine centers digestion on the Spleen-Stomach network. Treatment builds digestive strength, reduces dampness, and restores the descending function compromised in reflux and bloating.
An initial consultation answers it.
A first visit of up to 90 minutes tells us whether acupuncture is the right fit, and what the plan looks like if it is.
Common questions.
