Digestive health plays a central role in our overall wellbeing. When your stomach feels off, everything else suffers—from your energy and focus to your immune system and mood. Whether you're battling IBS, acid reflux, indigestion, nausea, or constipation, natural therapies can help rebalance your gut and bring lasting relief.

We use a powerful combination of Acupuncture, Osteopathy, and the Neurological Integration System (NIS) to address the underlying causes of gastrointestinal symptoms, not just the surface discomfort.


IBS & Spastic Colon: Finding Calm in the Gut

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and spastic colon are common digestive disorders characterized by a cycle of diarrhea, constipation, abdominal bloating, and cramping. They are often aggravated by stress, food sensitivities, and nervous system imbalance.

Symptoms we help relieve:

  • Abdominal pain and bloating
  • Alternating constipation and diarrhea
  • Loose stool or excessive bowel movements
  • Food intolerances and sensitivities

Our approach:

  • Acupuncture regulates gut motility and calms nervous system reactivity
  • Osteopathy improves abdominal circulation and reduces muscle tension
  • NIS identifies neurological miscommunication that contributes to IBS symptoms

Whether you're dealing with loose bowels, hard stools, or colon muscle spasms, this holistic approach brings relief and regularity.


Reflux, GERD & Heartburn: Healing the Burn Naturally

If you're experiencing acid reflux, GERD symptoms, or heartburn that won’t go away, you’re not alone. These issues stem from digestive dysfunction, often worsened by stress, diet, and poor stomach acid regulation.

Symptoms and conditions addressed:

  • Chronic heartburn or throat burn
  • Acid reflux throat irritation
  • Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD/GORD)
  • Acid indigestion or stomach acidity

We help:

  • Reduce gastric acid overproduction
  • Promote proper valve function between stomach and esophagus
  • Address the root causes of reflux and heartburn triggers

You’ll also receive lifestyle and dietary advice, including foods to avoid with acid reflux and strategies for long-term relief from GERD.


Constipation, Diarrhea & Bowel Imbalances

Irregular bowel movements can be a daily struggle. From hard stools and extreme constipation, to loose stool, ongoing diarrhea, or watery bowel movements, natural therapy can restore healthy function without harsh laxatives or medication.

Common concerns we treat:

  • Sudden watery diarrhea
  • Chronic constipation
  • Diarrhea for 3–5 days
  • Loose stool not diarrhea
  • Hard bowel movements or painful elimination

We support normal digestive rhythm by:

  • Enhancing gut nerve regulation (via NIS)
  • Improving colon motility and tone (via acupuncture and osteopathy)
  • Reducing inflammation and restoring absorption

Whether you’re experiencing constant diarrhea or difficulty passing stool, this integrative approach helps restore balance to your bowels.


Nausea, Indigestion & Ulcer Support

A queasy stomach, vomiting, upper abdominal pain, or persistent nausea can make eating—and living—feel like a challenge. Whether caused by gastritis, stomach ulcers, or food intolerance, we address these symptoms at the source.

Relief from:

  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Indigestion pain (dyspepsia)
  • Gastric ulcers or PUD symptoms
  • Food allergies or intolerances

Our treatments calm the stomach, reduce inflammation, and reset the digestive signals between brain and gut, offering natural indigestion cures and acid reflux remedies without medication.


Hemorrhoids, Colitis & Bloating

Chronic constipation, straining, or inflammation of the colon can lead to hemorrhoids, bloating, and colitis flare-ups. Natural therapies reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and calm the digestive system.

Conditions supported:

  • Internal and external hemorrhoids
  • Spastic bowel or colitis
  • Abdominal bloating and pressure
  • Gastrointestinal irritation from food hypersensitivities

Why This Integrative Approach Works

  • Acupuncture regulates digestive enzymes, reduces inflammation, and balances gut-brain signaling
  • Osteopathy restores motion, alignment, and circulation in the abdominal organs
  • NIS identifies neurological disruptions in digestion, motility, and immune response

Together, these therapies address:

  • Gastrointestinal symptoms at the nervous system level
  • Digestive stress caused by poor diet, emotional pressure, or chronic inflammation
  • Long-term conditions like IBS, GERD, ulcers, and food allergies

Whether you're dealing with severe heartburn, persistent nausea, or irregular bowel habits, we’re here to help you find lasting relief—naturally.

FAQ Section

Acid reflux can result from a weak lower esophageal valve, high stomach acid, or stress-related digestive tension. We use acupuncture to reduce acidity, osteopathy to improve diaphragm function, and NIS to balance the gut-brain axis—offering relief without long-term medication.

IBS typically includes bloating, cramping, alternating diarrhea and constipation, and may worsen with stress. Food intolerances cause similar symptoms but are more diet-triggered. We assess both, using therapies that calm the gut and help identify underlying sensitivities.

Ongoing diarrhea may signal a digestive imbalance, infection, or food hypersensitivity. Our natural approach includes acupuncture to stabilize bowel movement, NIS to reset gut control, and dietary support to reduce irritation.

Yes. Acupuncture is effective in stimulating peristalsis, improving gut motility, and reducing abdominal tension. It's especially helpful for those with hard stools, slow digestion, or spastic colon.

Common triggers include spicy food, caffeine, chocolate, citrus, and alcohol. We help identify your unique triggers and support long-term digestive healing, so you’re not stuck eliminating everything.

GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is chronic, frequent reflux that can damage the esophagus. Occasional reflux is more mild. Both benefit from acupuncture, dietary support, and NIS to restore function and reduce flare-ups.

Acupuncture is excellent for relieving nausea, whether it’s from indigestion, stress, or viral illness. We also explore dietary causes and nervous system stress that may be making you feel nauseated regularly.

Yes. We support healing of the stomach lining by calming inflammation, improving digestion, and reducing acid production. Acupuncture and NIS can both help regulate symptoms of gastritis and peptic ulcers naturally.

Bloating may stem from IBS, gut dysbiosis, slow digestion, or food sensitivities. We address the root cause and work to restore healthy digestive rhythm and absorption.

Absolutely. Our therapies are complementary and non-invasive, and often improve the results of conventional treatment or help reduce dependence on antacids, laxatives, or dietary restriction.
