Going back to our digestive system we discussed previously.
I want to share a story about a patient I've treated with great results. Female patient comes in with complaints of indigestion, bloating, irregular bowel movements, fatigue, abdominal pain and Hypochondriac pain on right side. She was only able to eat a couple of bites at a time and her diet consisted mainly of chicken and rice. She had been seen by her physician and evaluated, given a plethora of tests with no conclusive findings. She decided to come in and we discussed a few options prior to treatment and she agreed to give acupuncture a try.
After a few visits she noticed:
- Hypochondriac pain on right side was subsiding
- Abdominal pain gone
- Bowel movements more regular
Within a month i was able to see her incorporate more foods in her diet, some foods she had not been able to eat for a long time without severe abdominal discomfort. She was quite pleased with the results and didn't realize acupuncture could be beneficial for her digestive issues.
