Our Advanced Digestive Health Approach
At Humanity Acupuncture in Stony Brook, NY. we take digestive health acupuncture treatment to the next level with AcuGraph technology — a breakthrough method that measures and visualizes your body’s energy flow. Using our state-of-the-art AcuGraph diagnostic system, we can accurately identify the areas of energy imbalance contributing to your symptoms of fatigue, bloating, reflux, belching, diarrhea, constipation and IBS. This enables us to design a highly personalized acupuncture treatment plan that targets your specific imbalances for effective digestive support.
AcuGraph technology offers a real-time visualization of your body’s energy pathways. By using this innovative system, we can identify the precise areas where energy is disrupted, allowing us to tailor our treatments with unmatched accuracy.
After measuring your 12 channels utilizing the electro-conductivity of your skin at specific acupuncture points, we will generate a bar graph which will show, using precise energy mapping, exactly where your energy is flowing well, where it is blocked or imbalanced, where there is too little, and where there is too much. We will also show you how this relates to your current symptoms of fatigue, bloating, reflux, belching, loose stools, diarrhea, constipation, and IBS.
With AcuGraph acupuncture, I utilize the individualized information from your scan, and then put together a treatment plan that allows me to optimally balance your energy at at your foundational level. When these imbalances are left un-addressed they will eventually show up in your body as symptoms such as fatigue, reflux, gas, bloating, constipation, loose stools, diarrhea and IBS. Symptoms are how your body gets your attention, so you begin to address them.
In addition to providing a clear picture of why your having your digestive symptoms, AcuGraph also provides us a precise path forward so that we may begin addressing the digestive issues that brought you here in the first place, and then…stay feeling great!
Unlock the power of digital meridian imaging. Our AcuGraph technology reveals your body’s energy patterns, enabling a tailored acupuncture treatment plan for improving your digestive health.
WHAT THE CHART CAN SHOW US
In the sample chart (pictured below) we can see:
A GREEN bar shows normal and optimal flow of energy in the channel.
A RED bar shows excessive energy in the channel.
A BLUE bar shows where there is deficient or not enough energy in the channel.
A PURPLE bar shows when there is a blockage in the flow of energy in the channel causing an imbalance between the left and right sides.

During your first visit for digestive issues at Humanity Acupuncture, we will begin by discussing your intake form and your current symptoms.
Next we do a full AcuGraph energy diagnostic scan to get a clear view of how energy is currently flowing in your 12 main acupuncture channels, and how this might relate to the digestive issues your currently experiencing.
You will then receive a personalized digestive health acupuncture treatment based on the findings from today’s AcuGraph scan, as well as your Intake form. I will be using a combination of traditional acupuncture as well as laser acupuncture to bring your 12 main acupuncture meridians into better balance. This is to begin addressing your underlying core energetic imbalances while also addressing your current symptoms related to digestion.

• Please be sure to fill out your intake form a day or two ahead of time so that we have ample time to review before your appointment.
• Please be as thorough as possible in filling out your intake form.
• Make sure to bring along a pair of loose fitting shorts in case we need to access your thighs to needle certain points.
• Avoid caffinated beverages directly before coming in for acupuncture treatment. Caffine can increase needle sensations as it excites the nervous system.
• Please make sure to eat something within 2 hours of coming for treatment. Best not to get treated on an empty stomach.
• Please use the restroom before the start of your appointment to ensure your comfort during your treatment.

For acute digestive issues (under 3 months), the recommended treatment protocol is 2 treatments per week for the first 3 weeks, followed by once a week for a couple weeks. Progressing to once every other week. At this point many patients come in once a month for a “Tune-up” Some come in as needs arise. Typically results in acute conditions can be achieved in 6-10 visits.
For chronic digestive issues (over 3 months), the recommended treatment protocol is 2 treatments per week for the first 3 weeks, followed by once a week for a couple weeks. Progressing to once every other week. At this point many patients come in once a month for a “Tune-up” Some come in as needs arise. Typically results in chronic conditions can take longer, but results can often be achieved in 10-15 visits.
These are ideal guidelines. Some patients come in once a week instead of 2 times a week during the first 3 weeks. Whatever works for you. Stacking visits closer together in the beginning can often help get things moving quicker. Sometimes we get results faster than the time frames above. Many factors contribute to the healing process. Lifestyle, nutrition, sleep, hydration and self care all play a role in healing time frames.
One of the fears that potential patients have with alternative medicine is that the practitioner will try to make them dependent upon coming in for regular care. My goal is not to make you dependent on care but to assist you in reaching your wellness goals. Once we achieve those goals and your body is functioning at a higher level. YOU decide what makes sense for your personal wellness going forward. That way you are in control. As always, I am here to help.

The needles used in acupuncture are much thinner than the hypodermic needles most people are used to. Much like the size of a cats whisker, or thinner. Acupuncture needles are solid, single use, and sterilized. Patients usually experience very little or no sensation upon insertion of the needle, sometimes a slight tingling, dull aching or heavy sensation is felt at the needle which is actually a good thing and means we have engaged the energetic response from the body known as ”obtaining the Qi” Most new patients are surprised how relaxing and comfortable the experience is.
In addition to needles, I also incorporate Laser acupuncture in order to address the underlying energetic imbalances that we find through advanced AcuGraph digital meridian imaging.
