Acupuncture and Functional Medicine for Acid Reflux & GERD
Acid reflux and GERD are more than heartburn they're signs of digestive imbalance and gut dysfunction. We combine acupuncture with functional medicine to address the root causes and restore comfortable digestion.
"My heartburn and reflux symptoms improved significantly — without daily medication."
Why acid reflux happens and why quick fixes fall short
Antacids and proton pump inhibitors manage symptoms, but they rarely address the underlying imbalance. Our approach looks at digestive function, gut motility, and nervous system regulation together.
Digestive Function
Acupuncture and targeted protocols support proper stomach acid production, enzyme function, and sphincter tone to prevent reflux.
Gut Motility
Functional testing identifies impaired gastric emptying and slow transit times, guiding personalized approaches to restore healthy digestion.
Nervous System & Diet
Acupuncture calms stress responses while personalized nutrition helps identify trigger foods and rebuild digestive resilience.
Is this the right care for you?
If you've tried symptom management without lasting relief, a functional and acupuncture-based approach may be the missing layer for your digestive health.
- ✓Frequent heartburn, acid reflux, or regurgitation
- ✓Chest pain or burning sensation after meals
- ✓Chronic cough, hoarseness, or throat clearing
- ✓Difficulty swallowing or feeling of food sticking
- ✓Reliance on antacids or PPIs with incomplete results
