What brings you here?

Your experience matters.

Heartburn or a sour taste after meals

Note when symptoms begin and whether they follow particular meals or medication use.

Discomfort when lying down or bending

Describe whether the pattern changes with position and whether it interrupts sleep.

Recurring symptoms already assessed by a medical clinician

Bring previous treatment and testing details, especially if symptoms continue despite medical care.

Understand the pattern

Start with your story.

Reflux involves stomach contents moving back toward the throat. Tell us when symptoms occur, what you have tried, and whether swallowing, appetite, or weight has changed.

We can discuss complementary care and general routines, but acupuncture is not a substitute for reflux medication, diagnostic testing, or treatment of esophageal disease. Do not label unfamiliar chest pain as reflux.

Personalized options

Acupuncture and herbal support, considered together.

Complementary symptom support

If you want acupuncture, we discuss its role and limits rather than promising to repair the digestive tract.

Medication-aware herbal review

Herbal products need a review of reflux medication, other prescriptions, and your health history before use.

Bloating or bowel changes may need a separate assessment rather than being attributed to reflux alone.

Your provider reviews suitability, comfort, and response. Not every service is appropriate for every concern, and no outcome is guaranteed.

Your first visit

Listen. Review. Plan.

Bring what you already know

Bring relevant medical records and a list of medications and supplements. Also, tell us about previous care, health changes, and the goal that matters most to you.

Ask questions about the proposed approach, alternatives, costs, and what progress would look like. We want the plan to be understandable before you begin.

  1. Review your concerns

    Discuss timing, triggers, daily impact, and your medical history.

  2. Consider the findings

    Your doctor evaluates relevant concerns and discusses any need for medical testing or referral.

  3. Choose and review a plan

    Agree on practical goals and review whether care is useful for you.

Our recommended combination

Acupuncture with herbal support.

For these concerns, we generally recommend combining acupuncture with individualized Chinese herbal medicine when appropriate. Your doctor reviews your health history, medications, and goals before recommending a formula.

One coordinated care plan

Acupuncture and herbal recommendations are considered together so the plan fits your concerns and daily routine. We review your response and adjust recommendations as needed.

This is complementary support alongside appropriate medical care. It does not promise a cure or require you to stop prescribed treatment.

Simple capsule options

We use Sun Ten and Evergreen capsules when recommended. Capsules offer a convenient alternative to preparing herbal decoctions and can make the recommended routine easier to follow.

Herbal recommendations may be discussed as part of your acupuncture treatment. Capsules are purchased separately according to your needs and the doctor’s recommendations.

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers before you begin.

Your symptoms & care

Should I stop my reflux medication?

No. Follow your prescribing clinician’s advice. Tell us about all medicines and supplements before adding complementary care.

Can herbs replace a medical evaluation?

No. Persistent reflux, trouble swallowing, or bleeding requires medical assessment.

What information helps at my visit?

Bring symptom timing, meal and sleep patterns, medication names, and any test reports.

Planning your visit

How many visits will I need?

There is no fixed number for every person. Your findings, preferences, and response guide the plan. Follow-up should review whether care helps the goals you agreed on.

How do I prepare for a first appointment?

Bring relevant records and your medication list. You can also write down your main questions and a brief symptom timeline. Contact the office about fees and coverage before booking.
