Optimizing Digestive Health with Functional Medicine in Naperville
Optimizing Digestive Health with Functional Medicine in Naperville
Stomach Pain and Inflammation
Pain and inflammation are common complaints when it comes to gut health. Acupuncture is known for its ability to reduce inflammation, but it can also regulate stomach acid, and promote peristalsis to help the wave-like muscle contractions move foodstuffs down the esophagus and through the intestines. Regular acupuncture sessions can help strengthen the immune response, making you less susceptible to infections, illnesses, and inflammation. By promoting circulation, reducing stress, and enhancing the body's energy flow, acupuncture contributes to overall immune system balance and resilience. When these sessions are paired with other functional medicine, these treatments have been shown to promote healthy digestion.
Reflux Issues
If you suffer from acid reflux or are diagnosed with GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), you understand how disruptive this can be to your daily life. While uncomfortable, these issues can be hard to resolve through conventional medicine. Rid yourself of these discomforts with functional medicine treatments and acupuncture, some lifestyle and dietary changes, and Chinese medicine, without having to deal with the side effects of pharmaceuticals. Enjoy only the benefits that come from functional medicine and acupuncture.
Constipation Issues
Frequent constipation can be another sign that you need to improve your gut health. Studies show that acupuncture is a safe and effective option for relieving constipation, with persistent effects for long-term relief. Our patients who suffer from constipation and receive acupuncture in combination with functional medicine, nearly double their amount of daily bowel movements and enjoy improved general well-being and quality of life. Another benefit of acupuncture is that it reduces stress, which can be a cause of digestive issues such as constipation or other bowel urgencies such as diarrhea. Acupuncture and functional medicine can be a great solution that optimizes many aspects of your health at the same time.
