Acupuncture helps reduce inflammation related to Inflammatory Bowel Disease. It’s a useful addition to your medical treatments for IBD. Generally, I recommend more frequent treatments during a flare. Once you’re in remission, we can focus on keeping you in remission, and reducing treatment frequency. While working to get the Crohn’s Disease or Ulcerative Colitis in remission, we can also focus on reducing symptoms. We can also work to alleviate side effects from your medication.
