A healthy digestive system is the key to a healthy life. That’s why when our bellies rebel, we tend to struggle with a variety of uncomfortable symptoms. Everything from our energy to our mood to our confidence suffers when we can’t predict our digestion.

We address digestive conditions according to how they show up for you. You can expect to be treated as a person, not as a condition.
Acupuncture is a natural, drug-free way to balance your organs and support a healthy digestive system.
Using a heated herb called mugwort can help reduce gas and bloating, and increase nutrient absorption.
Herbal medicine is a gentle, natural, and effective way to address many digestive issues such as: constipation, diarrhea, IBS, acid reflux, gastritis, and more.
Supplementation focuses on helping your body break down nutrients in order to absorb more of what your body needs for healing and daily functions.
During your first visit you’ll share your health history and current symptoms, then enjoy a relaxing treatment to support your digestive system.
You’ll receive an individualized treatment plan specific for your body’s unique needs, including our recommended frequency to get the best results.
Freedom from digestive issues allows you to focus on the activities, people, and goals that matters most in your life.
I know what it’s like to struggle with stomach pain, gas, bloating and a sensitive digestive system. For years I was tired of being told by tests and doctors that I was “normal” when I felt anything but normal. I had test after test and because nothing ever showed up, there was no treatment available for me. Instead, I was told that there was no treatment for me and to just live with it. I felt like I had no other option but to live with and I suffered for years, until I discovered acupuncture and herbs and started using them for myself. There was actually even a term to describe exactly what I was suffering from! I no longer suffer from the same issues that I once had and I am grateful for that.
“I’ve been coming here for a few months and cannot believe the positive impact this has had on my life. My digestion is so much better and my hands and feet aren’t nearly as cold as they once were. I didn’t even know that helping with knots in my back was an option here, but it is.”

“I could not be happier with my experience with Melani. She is compassionate, was responsive to my concerns, caring, knowledgeable and highly experienced in the treatment and healing process. I had acupuncture treatment for the first time of my life and I felt completely comfortable and relaxed. I’m looking forward to my healing journey with Long Beach Specialty Acupuncture.”

What kinds of digestive conditions can acupuncture treat?
Because acupuncture helps the digestive system return to a state of balance, it can help a wide range of digestive symptoms and disorders. Here are just a few of the most common reasons people seek out acupuncture for digestive symptom relief:
How many acupuncture treatments will I need to get digestive relief?
Every situation is different so the total number of treatments varies. I take many things into consideration when assessing the total number of treatments such as: medical history, severity and frequency of symptoms and your current quality of life. After your initial consultation, you’ll receive a personalized Plan of Care with a recommended frequency and an estimated number of sessions needed.
How does acupuncture work to improve digestion?
Acupuncture helps strengthen the digestive functions that are at the very core of every bodily process. Our systems function best when they receive the nutrients that they need from the food that we eat. In order to get those nutrients, the digestive system needs to work together harmoniously.
What should I expect at my first acupuncture visit?
I will go through your detailed medical history with you, assess where your current condition is at right now, we will establish your treatment goals and then you will get an acupuncture treatment. I will explain the entire process as I go and make sure that you are as comfortable as possible.
Does acupuncture hurt?
No, acupuncture is not meant to be painful. You may feel some of the needles upon insertion, but any sensation usually subside afterwards. I only use high quality needles and gentle techniques. I will make sure that you are comfortable throughout the entire process.
Can acupuncture help me specifically?
Acupuncture isn’t guaranteed. Individual results will vary. No guarantee of specific results is warranted or implied and your results will depend on many factors. Read Full Disclaimer.
