What We Treat: Irritable Bowel

Research shows that Acupuncture excels at treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD). Acupuncture for diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel is superior to conventional treatment of western medication, which can improve the clinical symptoms & reduce the recurrence rate of patients.

Let’s break down the difference between the two conditions:

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS):

Symptoms: gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, & abdominal pain.

IBS can be the underlying cause of immune and autoimmune conditions, food reactivity & malabsorption of nutrients.

*IBS is considered a condition that  affects the small intestine and is possibly caused by an overgrowth of  harmful bacteria.

Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD):

Diagnosed as either 1.Ulcerative Colitis with symptoms of: diarrhea, constant poops, fatigue, weight loss, and anemia or 2.Chrohn's Disease with symptoms of: cramping, abdominal pain, fatigue, fever, rectal bleeding, and weight loss.

*IBD is considered autoimmune conditions that cause inflammed intestinal tissue.
