  • What Works When Reflux Keeps Waking Me Up at Night?

You can reduce nighttime reflux by calming digestion, easing stress, and
making small lifestyle changes with the help of acupuncture. At Family
Wellness Acupuncture, we target the causes of your evening discomfort so
you can rest without interruption.

How does Acupuncture help with Nighttime Reflux?

Acupuncture relaxes the digestive tract, lowers inflammation, and reduces stress-related muscle tension. This combination helps prevent acid reflux episodes while you sleep.

What causes Nighttime Reflux?

  • Eating too close to bedtime.
  • Consuming trigger foods like chocolate, coffee, or alcohol in the evening.
  • Lying flat after large meals.
  • Excess stress before bed.
  • Poor sleeping posture or pillow positioning.

1. Review: We assess your symptoms, diet, and evening habits.

How soon can you expect results with Acupuncture for Nighttime Reflux?

Some people notice better sleep after just a few sessions. For lasting
change, a series of treatments combined with simple lifestyle adjustments is often most effective.
