Digestive

I was diagnosed with GERD (acid reflux) 12 years ago and was put on medication at that time. The medication (Prilosec) eased my symptoms but I still always had some level of daily discomfort. I read an article about Chinese medicine being able to cure GERD and decided to explore my options. Raleigh Acupuncture had a good website and reviews so I booked an appointment. Their intake was very thorough and afterward they treated me with acupuncture and Chinese herbs. Within three treatments I was feeling much less symptoms of the GERD, less pain and burning. Within nine treatments my condition was completely resolved. It’s been a year since my last treatment and the GERD has not reappeared. This should be mandatory for all patients suffering from acid reflux. It does not make any sense to take medications for your whole life when a condition can be cured in a month for less than $500.

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.

I’m totally afraid of needles, but my wife convinced me to try acupuncture for my IBS.  It was really hampering my life.  I’d have to go to the bathroom 5 times before leaving for work.  Then at work I’d be sitting in a meeting and all of a sudden have to go again.  Any type of stress set me off.  At first they could only use 2 needles, that’s all I would let them do.  But after a few treatments I started relaxing and felt more comfortable with the needles.  The effect has been amazing.  I’m so much better now.  Mornings are easy, no problems at work.  It’s hard to believe, because I’ve had this for my entire adult life.  Now I just go in for maintenance and have some herbs I take when I need them.  Raleigh Acupuncture is a great outfit.
