Abdominal Pain Relief
with Navel Acupuncture
By identifying the specific pain location and underlying pattern, navel acupuncture can regulate abdominal function and often relieve abdominal pain efficiently and safely.
Does your Abdominal Pain look like this?
You CAN benefit from James Navel Acupuncture if you have one or more of the following:
✓ Abdominal Pain or Discomfort (Upper, Middle, or Lower Abdomen)
Pain, pressure, tightness, fullness, burning, or persistent abdominal discomfort.
✓ Post-Surgical or Post-Injury Abdominal Discomfort
Residual abdominal pain, sensitivity, or tightness following surgery or physical injury.
✓ Abdominal Fullness or Tightness (Including Stress-Related)
Bloating, pressure, or a tense abdomen that fluctuates with stress or after eating.
✓ Gastrointestinal- Abdominal Discomfort
Abdominal discomfort linked to stomach or intestinal function, such as reflux, cramping, bloating, or dull pain.
🌿How Does Navel Acupuncture Treat Abdominal Pain?
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, abdominal pain is often related to the regulation of Qi and blood, the functional state of the internal organs, and the coordination of the meridian system, rather than a single digestive structure.
Navel Acupuncture works through whole-body regulation, helping rebalance Qi and blood, support organ function, and restore harmonious meridian activity affecting the abdomen.
Once the specific pain location and underlying pattern are identified, navel acupuncture can often relieve abdominal pain efficiently—sometimes within the same treatment session—while promoting more stable and lasting improvement.
🌿How Many Treatments Are Usually Needed?
Every abdominal pain condition is different. Treatment is individualized.
The following are general clinical references:
Acute abdominal pain
Often shows clear improvement within 1–3 sessions.
Chronic or recurrent abdominal pain
Commonly stabilizes after 3–6 sessions.
Stubborn or complex abdominal pain
(Long history, multiple contributing factors)
Usually requires 1–2 courses of treatment, about 5–10 sessions.
Abdominal pain related to surgery or trauma
Requires individualized evaluation based on medical findings.
The number of sessions varies from case to case.
🌿 Treatment Notes
Before Treatment
Please review the precautions for Navel Acupuncture before treatment.
If you have had any recent medical tests, imaging, or are currently receiving other treatments, please inform your acupuncturist.
During Treatment
Needle sensations vary from person to person. Mild pain or soreness during insertion may occur and is normal.
In general, the more relaxed you are, the milder the sensation.
Navel Acupuncture is a safe acupuncture treatment. Please stay relaxed and avoid unnecessary tension.
After Treatment
Rest after treatment. Drinking warm water may help support circulation and metabolic adjustment. Please avoid excessive exertion and exposure to cold or wind.
Many abdominal pain patients notice improvement during the same treatment session.
In rare cases involving more complex conditions, some patients may experience temporary digestive changes, mild discomfort, skin itching or rashes, or diarrhea after returning home, usually on the following day or later.
These are considered healing responses. Please do not be overly concerned and return for follow-up assessment as needed.
