ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT FOR GALLSTONE

WHAT IS A GALLBLADDER?

The gallbladder is a small pouch located beneath the liver, responsible for storing and concentrating bile produced by the liver. Bile is essential for fat and is released from the gallbladder into the upper small intestine in response to the presence of food, especially fats.

What is a gallstone? These are hardened deposits of bile that can form in your gallbladder. Gallstones range in size from as small as a grain of sand to as large as a golf ball. Some people develop just one gallstone, while others develop many gallstones at the same time.

People who experience symptoms from their gallstones usually require gallbladder removal surgery. Gallstones that don't cause any signs and symptoms typically don't need treatment.

Find out how acupuncture can help alleviate the pain and reduce the problems on your gallbladder!

Acupuncture has proven to be highly effective in both treating and preventing gallstone disease. It can successfully alleviate biliary colic, assist in the removal of gallstones, and help prevent the development of new stones.

Acupuncture points are by pinpointing sensitive areas within the liver and gallbladder reflex zone in the right upper abdomen, primarily along a line extending from Riyue, Qimen, or Jiuwei to Fuai. The needling technique typically involves an oblique approach, aiming beneath the external oblique muscle.

Common Symptoms of GALLSTONES

Sudden and rapidly intensifying pain in the upper right portion of your abdomen

Back pain between your shoulder blades

Sudden and rapidly intensifying pain in the center of your abdomen, just below your breastbone

Pain in your right shoulder and nausea or vomiting

During an acute biliary colic episode, Dr. Annie Yang, a Licensed Acupuncturist at OAHU Acupuncture Clinic in Aiea 96701, will administer acupuncture treatment daily until the pain subsides or the stones are expelled.

Acupuncture Points for Gallstone Problems

The knowledge regarding how acupuncture can help remove stones or prevent the formation of gallstones is becoming more evident. Targeting specific points like Jiuwei, Burong (right), Yanglingquan (right), and Zusanli (right) significantly influences the relaxation of Oddi's sphincter and promotes the contraction of the common bile duct.

Yanglingquan (GB34)

This acupuncture point is considered especially effective for gallbladder disease, especially for gallbladder stone disease (GSD).

Riyue (GB24)

GB 24 is commonly used to treat conditions related to the liver and gallbladder, such as hepatitis, cholecystitis, and gallstones.

Our Aiea 96701 clinic provides acupuncture for gallstone issues, offering a non-surgical approach to manage symptoms and potentially reduce recurrence.
