Treating IBS
McKay Healing Arts understands all the symptoms and complications that people experience with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Traditional Chinese medicine defines Acupuncture as
Each tiny acupuncture needle is used to create a small unnoticeable injury that causes little to no discomfort. This creates signaling from the brain to let the body know it needs to respond. When a response happens it stimulates your immune system and increases circulation to the area of treatment. This method provides wound healing and pain modulation.
That’s our approach at McKay healing Arts with treating IBS and many other ailments.
The traditional approach for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is Gastroenterology in Wilmington NC. There are many Gastroenterologist in Wilmington, NC if you want a path to traditional approaches to the disease you will have several options in both Brunswick and New Hanover county. If you’re not experiencing success with the traditional path and need a more integrated approach, McKay Healing Arts is here to help you.
Our healing arts practice is excited that clinical analysis supports acupunctures success:
Acupuncture and herbs alleviate IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). Two independent studies find Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, and moxibustion effective for the relief of irritable bowel syndrome. Both studies feature an integrative approach to patient care.
The first study, administered at the Hospital of Jiangsu Business College, finds a combination of internal herbs, acupuncture, and moxibustion more effective than montmorillonite clay for the treatment of pain, bloating, and regulation of the daily number of bowel movements. [1] The second study, at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanhua University, finds a combination of herbal acupoint applications, acupuncture, and probiotics perform better than any one of these therapies alone. [2] The results indicate that an integrative medicine approach to patient care produces superior patient outcomes.
