Balance Acupuncture for Digestive Issues

Natural, personalized care for your gut health in Vernon & Kelowna

When Your Digestion Feels Off, Your Whole Body Knows

Bloating, gas, constipation, acid reflux, or irregular bowel movements—these aren’t just uncomfortable symptoms; they’re signals that your digestive system is out of balance. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), we view digestion as central to overall health. When your gut is functioning optimally, you feel energized, clear-headed, and at ease.

At Balance Acupuncture, I offer acupuncture for digestive issues using the Balance Method, a time-tested approach that addresses the root causes of digestive discomfort. By restoring harmony to your body’s energy systems, we aim to alleviate symptoms and promote lasting wellness.

How Balance Acupuncture Supports Digestive Health

Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body to regulate the flow of Qi (energy), enhance blood circulation, and balance the nervous system. This holistic approach can:

  • Improve digestion and nutrient absorption: Enhance the efficiency of your digestive organs.
  • Reduce gastrointestinal discomfort: Alleviate symptoms like bloating, cramping, and abdominal pain.
  • Regulate bowel movements: Addressing issues like constipation and diarrhea.
  • Balance gut microbiota: Supporting a healthy gut environment.
  • Alleviate stress-related digestive issues: Calming the nervous system to reduce stress-induced symptoms.

Common Digestive Issues Addressed

Balance Acupuncture can be effective for a variety of digestive conditions, including:

  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
  • Acid reflux and GERD
  • Constipation and diarrhea
  • Bloating and gas
  • Food sensitivities
  • Inflammatory bowel diseases (e.g., Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis)
  • Leaky gut syndrome

The TCM Perspective on Digestion

In TCM, the Spleen and Stomach are central to digestion. The Spleen transforms food into Qi and Blood, nourishing the body, while the Stomach breaks down food. Imbalances in these organs can lead to digestive issues. For instance:

  • Spleen Qi deficiency: May cause fatigue, loose stools, and poor appetite.
  • Stomach Qi stagnation: Can result in bloating, nausea, and acid reflux.

By identifying and addressing these imbalances, acupuncture helps restore digestive harmony.
