Digestive

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.

About six months ago I starting getting debilitating fatigue, to the point where I could not exercise and had to drag myself through the day at work.  The doctors said it must be stress, because there was nothing wrong with me.  But when I went to Raleigh Acupuncture, they said that my digestion was weak.  They said I was not getting proper energy from the food I was eating, so they treated my digestive system.  I was amazed to see my energy increase after the treatments.  Within 10 treatments I was back to my old self, exercising again and working through the day no problem.  And as a side benefit, I started losing weight.  They said this was related to my improved digestive function.  Now my friends want to go because they see my energy back and see me losing weight!

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.
