Digestive

I have always had a nervous stomach.  Some people get headaches, I get stomach aches.  It’s always worse with stress and eases up on the weekends when I can relax.  I did not think of getting treatment until I stumbled on an article saying how acupuncture was excellent for treating stomach pain.  I went to Raleigh Acupuncture and described my condition.  They explained why my stomach hurt.  It totally made sense to me.  It’s all about internal balance.  So they went to work on me to get my stomach balanced.  And I’m pleased to say that it worked.  I no longer have a nervous stomach and stomach pain, even in stressful situations.  I’ve made some changes to my diet, based on their recommendations, and took chinese herbs for a while, but don’t need to take them now.  I’m convinced that I would have lived with stomach pain for the rest of my life had it not been for acupuncture.

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.

I’ve lived with chronic constipation my whole life.  I averaged once every five days or so, and that was normal.  As a result, I always felt bottled up.  My brother convinced me to try acupuncture, as it helped him with his constipation.  The doctor gave me pills which he said were all natural and had been around for thousands of years.  He also did acupuncture.  After about half a dozen treatments I was going to the bathroom every other day.  It’s been a year since my treatments ended and I’m still regular.  I feel great.
