Acupuncture for Abdominal Pain
at
Union Yoga & Physical Therapy

Welcome! I’m Dr. Danielle Rose, physical therapist, acupuncturist, and herbal medicine practitioner. I’m a firm believer in the healing power of acupuncture — because it changed my life. Having dealt with abdominal pain for years with no explanation in site, I found that acupuncture & herbal medicine offered relief and balance when nothing else worked. That experience inspired me to become an acupuncturist myself — so I can share this transformative medicine with others.

What Makes Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Different

In Western medicine, abdominal pain is often treated as a symptom to manage. In TCM, those “symptoms” are the story your body is telling — clues that help us uncover the root imbalance.

When you’re tired, stressed, and your stomach aches after a normal meal, TCM doesn’t shrug and say “we don’t know.” It provides answers — and most importantly, solutions.

At Union Yoga & Physical Therapy, we use acupuncture to restore balance to the body so you can eat, move, and live comfortably again.

Common TCM Causes of Abdominal Pain

Causes of Abdominal Pain
  • Emotional Stress: When stress stagnates your body’s energy (qi) and blood flow, pain often follows.

  • Dietary Imbalance: Cold, spicy, or heavy foods (think ice drinks or dairy) can disrupt digestion and circulation.

  • External Pathogens: Cold or damp weather patterns can affect how your gut feels — yes, just like arthritis flaring on rainy days!

How Acupuncture Helps

Acupuncture encourages smooth flow of qi and blood throughout your abdomen, which:

​

  • Reduces pain and inflammation

  • Improves digestive motility and comfort

  • Balances gut hormones and energy

 

Most patients notice improvement after the first session, though lasting balance takes time. Typically, I recommend one session per week for 4–8 weeks depending on how long the issue has persisted.

Why It Works — and Why It’s Worth It

Why Abdominal Acupuncture Works

Acupuncture for abdominal pain is a game changer. You don’t have to live with constant discomfort or skip meals out of fear. With consistent treatment, your pain lessens, your digestion improves, and life starts to feel normal again — maybe better than it has in years.

If you’re ready for your gut to feel calm, comfortable, and strong again, I’d love to help.
