How Acupuncture Helps

Gentle Support for Everyday Digestive Comfort

Digestive discomfort can affect how you feel all day. Acupuncture is a gentle, natural approach many people use to support everyday comfort, paired with simple, general lifestyle guidance. We listen first — what you notice, when, and what makes it better or worse — and build a calm, personalized plan. Our care complements, and never replaces, the guidance of your physician or a registered dietitian.

Systematic Review

An individual-patient-data meta-analysis of nearly 21,000 patients found acupuncture was associated with modest improvements in chronic pain compared with both sham and no-acupuncture controls, with benefits that persisted over time.

Founder · Doctor of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine (D.A.O.M), Lic.Ac

Dr. Shi is a licensed acupuncturist in NE, NY, MA, and TX, National Board certified Herbalist, and the founder of the Classic Healing Center. She is an enthusiastic second-generation acupuncturist with more than 10 years of experience in the practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine. As the child of two TCM doctors in China, she began working as an intern in her parents' clinic when she was in high school. She has been specially trained in classic and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to treat people with a wide range of conditions, and in addition to their overall Qi-Blood, and Yin-Yang balancing. Her practice focused on various types of balances including Women's Health & Fertility, spine health, internal medicine, neuro health, mental disorders, autoimmune diseases, and GI disorders. She also takes care of pediatric problems, such as cold, poor digestion, and poor sleep. Dr. Shi and team believe in balanced health. But this is not just any balance — this is the unique balance of Chinese medicine, rooted in the harmony of nature and your body's own energy. Through acupuncture, we guide you back to this deeper, natural rhythm — so you no longer struggle with maintaining your health. We show the path and walk the journey with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about your care and what to expect.

What digestive concerns do you see?

Patients commonly come to us for bloating, IBS-type discomfort, acid reflux, irregularity, and appetite changes. We look at digestion as part of the whole picture, including stress and sleep.

Should I still see my doctor about digestive symptoms?

Yes. Persistent or new digestive symptoms deserve a medical evaluation, and we work as a complement to that care rather than in place of it. Please tell us about any diagnosis or testing you've had.

How does acupuncture support digestion?

It's used to support everyday digestive comfort and to ease the tension and stress that can affect the gut. Many patients also notice their sleep and energy shift alongside it.

Do you recommend diet changes?

We may suggest simple, general adjustments that support your care. We're not a substitute for a registered dietitian, and we'll say so when a referral is the better answer.
