Electroacupuncture May Improve GERD Symptoms
A recent Chinese study reported in an issue of the World Journal of Gastroenterology has found that electroacupuncture at the Pericardium Meridian Point 6 (or PC6) may decrease the frequency of symptoms behind GERD. The researchers found elctroacupuncture to decrease the GERD inducing transient lower sphincter relaxation function (or TLESR) in cats. This effect appeared to act at the brain stem, and may be mediated through nitric oxide and mu-opioid receptors.
Principal investigator Peng-Yan Xie notes, "Acupuncture has been used to treat functional gastrointestinal disorders in Eastern countries for centuries. Our research aimed to investigate the relationship between acupuncture and TLESR and to discuss its mechanisms."
The main conclusion reported by investigators found the electro acupoint stimulation at the PC6 site had a significant reduction in rate of sphincter relaxations induced by gastric distention. Researchers have been aware of the effects of acupuncture on reducing reflux symptoms but they had been unable to understand the underlying mechanism. The opioid recepters through the brain stem appear to be responsible for effect that acupuncture has on reflux disease.

Pain in your lower back or legs can feel like the end of the world. You can't do any of the things you love without shooting, burning pain that doesn't leave you alone whether you sit, stand or lie down. Traditional medical diagnoses often prescribe pain killers or surgery, neither of which are attractive options. Pain killers only mask the problem and surgery, in addition to being invasive, is not as effective as you might think because many patients do not experience relief of symptoms. You need a better option. Hoboken Integrated Healthcare, led by Dr. Joseph Canova, is a multi-disciplinary team of chiropractors, physical therapists, and medical doctors that uses safer, non-surgical, non-invasive means to relieve back and leg pain from conditions like sciatica and herniated or bulging discs. You can depend on Hoboken Integrated if you need treatment.
