Digestive

I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease two years ago. I had fairly severe low abdominal pain and swelling, weight loss and really low energy. My doctor wanted to put me on steroids but I wanted to avoid that for as long as possible. I read that acupuncture could treat Crohn’s so I booked an appointment at Raleigh Acupuncture. Sure enough, the treatments eased my pain, resolved the swelling, and increased my energy. It’s been almost two years and I have yet to need steroids. Initially I got acupuncture twice a week, but after the first two months I have been on monthly maintenance treatments, and that seems to be holding me. I highly recommend Raleigh Acupuncture for Crohn’s treatment. They have made a huge difference in my life.

I came down with an unbelievable case of diarrhea that lasted more than four weeks.  I was getting severely dehydrated and was exhausted.  My doctor said there was nothing wrong with me, that it was probably due to stress.  The only thing stressing me out was the diarrhea!  I was really starting to get scared, thinking I had contracted some terrible disease.  I went to acupuncture and they immediately said there was a problem with my stomach and intestines, but that it wasn’t dangerous and it was treatable.  They treated me with acupuncture and a heat herb that warmed up my stomach.  I felt better immediately, and within a few weeks the diarrhea was completely gone.  I am very grateful to Raleigh Acupuncture for knowing what was wrong with me and treating my condition so quickly.

My IBS triggered diarrhea every day, all day long, but especially in the mornings.  It would be triggered by the foods I ate, stress at work, or nothing at all.  I was getting to the point where I was going to give up my job and try to find a job where I could work out of the house.  As a last resort I went to Raleigh Acupuncture.  I started seeing changes right away, less attacks in the morning, less triggers during the day.  Over the duration of my treatments it seemed like my intestines were getting stronger and less sensitive.  After about a month of treatment I was just having problems in the morning, going about three times.  After about another month I was having normal bowel movements just once in the morning.  As far as I can tell, my IBS is completely healed.
