Acupuncture for IBS or Overactive Bladder?

by admin

Has any female ever tried acupuncture to help with IBS and/or over active bladder (without incontinence. just have to go a lot) ?
Tried anything else to help with these issues? I've been going to the Chiropractor. My spine is nice and straight now. But no help with my symptoms...any advice?

as you probably know acupuncture is based on improving and brining balance to qi that flows through all of the 14 unseen channels in the body known as meridians.

A person with IBS usually has a deficiency of qi in the spleen, lung, liver, kidney and large intestine meridians, so these are the areas that will likely be targeted during an acupuncture session.

Acupuncture is fast becoming one of the more popular alternative and complimentary therapies used by IBS sufferers to help alleviate symptoms, it works to restore the proper function of organs, muscles, glands, nerves and vessels.

Acupuncture is recognized as being an effective therapy for treating the following conditions which are often symptoms of IBS:

• Muscle cramps

• Abdominal pain

• Constipation

• Diarrhea

Hope this helps
Good Luck
