Acupuncture for Digestive Health and IBS in Fitzroy North

Digestive issues such as bloating, abdominal pain, reflux, and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) are increasingly common, particularly when stress and lifestyle pressures are involved. Many people in Fitzroy North seek acupuncture as a natural approach to supporting gut health and easing ongoing digestive discomfort.

At AcupunctureMelb, we offer individualised acupuncture treatments designed to support digestive function while addressing underlying stress and nervous system imbalance.

How Digestive Issues Develop

The digestive system is highly sensitive to stress. When the body remains in a prolonged stress response, digestion can be affected, leading to symptoms such as:

• Bloating and gas

• Abdominal pain or cramping

• Reflux or heartburn

• Alternating constipation and diarrhoea

• Food sensitivities

Acupuncture aims to support both gut function and the nervous system, which are closely connected.

How Acupuncture May Help Digestive Health

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, digestive symptoms often reflect imbalances in how the body processes and distributes energy. From a modern viewpoint, acupuncture may help by:

• Supporting gut motility

• Reducing visceral hypersensitivity

• Regulating the gut–brain axis

• Calming the stress response

Many patients notice not only digestive improvements but also better sleep and energy levels.

Common Digestive Conditions Treated with Acupuncture

1. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

People with IBS may experience ongoing digestive discomfort without clear structural causes. Acupuncture may help manage:

• Abdominal pain

• Bloating

• Stress-related flare-ups

• Irregular bowel habits

Treatment is tailored to your symptom pattern and triggers.

2. Reflux and Upper Digestive Symptoms

Acupuncture is often used to support people experiencing:

• Acid reflux or heartburn

• Nausea

• A heavy or uncomfortable feeling after eating

By supporting digestive flow and nervous system regulation, symptoms may ease over time.

3. Stress-Related Digestive Symptoms

Digestive issues often worsen during stressful periods. Acupuncture can help reduce the stress response that contributes to gut dysfunction.
