Gastrointestinal Support with Acupuncture & Chinese Herbs

At Tensegrity Acupuncture & Wellness, we help patients naturally restore digestive balance through acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and holistic therapies. If you’re struggling with bloating, constipation, acid reflux, gallbladder problems, or irregular bowel movements, our treatments target both the root cause and the symptoms—so you can enjoy lasting relief and better overall health.

How Chinese Medicine Supports Digestive Health

For over 2,000 years, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has treated digestive disorders by restoring balance to the Stomach, Spleen, Intestines, Liver, and Gallbladder. When these organs are out of harmony, you may experience:
  • Bloating and gas after meals
  • Constipation or irregular bowel movements
  • Diarrhea or loose stools
  • Indigestion or heartburn (acid reflux)
  • Sluggish gallbladder function or bile flow issues
  • Abdominal cramps or discomfort
  • Hemorrhoids or rectal irritation
  • Sluggish metabolism or feeling heavy
  • Food sensitivities and poor nutrient absorption

Our treatments work to:

  • Support natural gallbladder activity for better fat digestion and bile flow
  • Moisten and nourish the intestines to relieve dry stools and constipation
  • Stimulate healthy colon activity for regular elimination
  • Balance stomach pH to reduce acid reflux and indigestion
  • Ease intestinal stress from poor diet or overeating
  • Maintain rectal and anal health for long-term comfort
  • Regulate bowel activity to prevent both constipation and diarrhea
  • Promote colon detoxification to remove stagnation and toxins
  • Harmonize and comfort the bowels to reduce bloating and pain
  • Nourish fluids in the respiratory and digestive system for overall wellness
  • Dispel dampness that causes heaviness, mucus buildup, and sluggish digestion
