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.

Call (888) 337-9387
Have you tried various treatment plans to relieve yourself of your lower back pain, yet nothing has worked? The process of lumbar decompression using DRX9000 equipment has proven to relieve pain by: reversing the high intradiscal pressures through the application of negative pressure, bringing water, oxygen and other nutrients into the disc, increasing the thickness of the disc, reducing herniated discs and strengthening outer ligaments to help move herniated material back into place. In other words, there's a very good chance this procedure can heal your ailments unlike any of the treatments you may have tried. Dr. Oliphant of the Alberta Back and Neck Rehab specializes in this non-invasive technique and his office in Calgary, Alberta is ready to serve you.
