Pelvic floor therapy addresses muscle tension and coordination concerns that can contribute to difficulty passing stool, straining, or pelvic discomfort. Care may include breathing techniques, muscle retraining, movement guidance, and hands-on treatment tailored to your needs.
Acupuncture
Individualized acupuncture may be considered as a complementary part of care for digestive discomfort, nausea, and related tension. Your provider takes your symptoms and broader health history into account, tailoring treatment to your comfort and goals.
Community Acupuncture
Acupuncture in a shared treatment space, offering a more affordable option for ongoing care. Available to established acupuncture patients, these sessions build on your individual treatment plan while you rest fully clothed in a quiet, communal setting.
Visceral Manipulation
Gentle hands-on therapy focused on the connective tissues surrounding the organs in the abdomen and pelvis. Your provider may consider this approach when digestive concerns occur alongside abdominal tension, restricted movement, or discomfort following surgery.

Targeted treatments, including trigger point injections and neural therapy, that may be considered for persistent muscle pain, tension, or scar-related discomfort. Your provider evaluates your symptoms and discusses the potential benefits, risks, and role of injections within your broader care plan.
Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback uses sensors to monitor brain activity and provide feedback through sound during a seated session. If stress or sleep concerns accompany your digestive symptoms, your provider can discuss whether this service fits your goals, including what is known about its benefits and limitations.
Craniosacral Therapy
A gentle form of hands-on bodywork using light touch around the head, spine, and sacrum. Sessions offer a quieter, less intensive bodywork option, with attention to your comfort and preferences throughout treatment.
