Acupuncture for Celiac Disease
Celiac disease is a common condition which is caused by the body's immune reaction to gluten within
the intestinal system. The primary treatment for celiac disease is a gluten-free diet.
Unfortunately, it is common for the correct diagnosis of celiac disease
to be delayed for several years after the symptoms begin. Some patients
may have trouble following a gluten-free diet. For these reasons, celiac
disease can sometimes result in complications such as anemia,
neuropathy,
irritable bowel syndrome, malnutrition, and other consitions. In many
cases of celiac disease, the condition is adequately controlled with a
gluten-free diet.
When complications such as neuropathy arise, our treatments can typically help. Stress and
depression
tend to cause celiac disease symptoms to worsen. Our treatments can
help to reduce the adverse health effects of stress and promote the
healing of nerve tissue.
Acupuncture
research at Harvard Medical School and many other institutions around
the world have determined that acupuncture has profound effects on the
body's physiology. These include a wide range of molecular and cellular
effects on the immune system, nervous system, endocrine system, and
growth-regulatory systems.
During treatment for celiac disease, it may be necessary to address
other underlying reasons for a patient's symptoms.
Dr. Windsor will create an
integrated treatment strategy for your unique concerns and conditions.
We welcome the opportunity to partner with you, and with your other
medical providers, in order to help you experience the best outcome that is possible for your health.
