With over 22 years of experience I have been treating gastro intestinal (GI) disorders with the use of thin needles inserted in very precise areas along the different rivers of energy, which are called meridians. The body is made up energy which is called Chi. The Chinese believed that when this energy does not flow freely through these meridians, pain and disease can occur. The acupuncture points are like gates and when the needle is inserted into these precise points it can ether increase or decrease the flow of Chi. Since IBS can either be a symptom of an excess or a lack of the free movement of Chi, the use of acupuncture can be very successful. This is why acupuncture has grown leaps and bonds in the 20 plus years I been practicing. More and more Americans are using this form of medicine instead of dangerous pain medication on their neck and back pain or for people who suffer from debilitating chronic migraine headaches. Even though I have been doing this for a long time, I am still get amazed when someone who has been suffering for many years with pain and walks out of my office saying that the pain is either gone or much better. So for the person who is in pain on a daily basis and has been thinking of trying acupuncture I say give it a try, you have nothing to lose accept the pain itself.
