Digestion
Tillamook County Acupuncture For Digestion

Digestion is at the center of overall health; it acts as the hub around which everything revolves. When digestion is strong and balanced, we experience good health. However, if it becomes compromised, the rest of our health may be at risk.
The digestive process is complex and involves much more than simply eating a meal. It includes our desire to eat, our food choices, how we obtain and prepare our food, and the circumstances under which we consume it. All of these factors are essential to nourishing ourselves. Due to its central role, digestion can be influenced by many other bodily systems. Therefore, a comprehensive approach to treating digestive issues is crucial, and we make it a priority in our treatments, regardless of the main concern brought in by a patient.
Our approach to addressing digestive problems begins with a detailed health history that traces back to in utero. It includes the circumstances of birth, early nutrition, health as an infant, toddler, and beyond.
We treat a wide range of digestive issues, placing a primary emphasis on herbs and dietary recommendations, while also utilizing acupuncture as needed for both treatment and diagnostic purposes.
Some of our areas of focus include:
- Indigestion, heartburn, & GERD
- Excessive belching and gas
- IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
- Crohn’s disease
- SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)
- Lack of appetite
- Food cravings
- Constipation
- Loose stools and diarrhea
Testimonials
“Rob at Cedar Grove Healing Arts is your guy for complex and chronic conditions. The way I see it, he saved my life. An acupuncture and Chinese medicine wizard. He opened me up to new ways of living and provided me with countless tools that will serve me for life. I was diagnosed with Functional Dyspepsia triggered by GI and emotional trauma after getting sepsis and having to undergo intensive antibiotic treatment. This led to an ulcer and SIBO. My symptoms included chronic inflammation of my entire gastrointestinal system. A type of burning and discomfort that made it almost impossible to eat and forced me to be on an intensive elimination diet for years before seeing him. I was skin and bone 6’3” and under 160lbs. I was also experiencing chronic debilitating migraines, dysuria (burning after peeing and ejaculatory orgasm), fatigue, Raynauds, anxiety and depression. I was told by my doctors I would likely never have a day without pain. They were wrong. Results from his therapy came from commitment and patience although I always experienced immediate pain relief after a treatment. This isn’t a quick fix, but 3 years later I’m now consistently seeing days with no pain, eating with no dietary restraints, while still practicing intentional healthy eating. I’m now a muscular 195 lbs. I haven’t had a day of fatigue or migraine in months and was able to complete the entire PCT last summer. I have a stronger focused mind with far less anxiety. What I’m trying to say is I’m thriving and that is heavily because of the support Rob was able to give me on my healing journey. Don’t miss out on an opportunity to experience his magic and change your life. There is always hope with healers like Rob in this world.”

“I worked with Rob for several years to manage my chronic digestive disorder. He was an incredible support for an illness that few have had any answers for. He was always patient, listened to all of the details I shared and remembered them from visit to visit. He helped me manage my symptoms and progress in a trajectory toward overall better health and functioning. He went above and beyond and as a result I’m living a fuller life. I’d highly recommend Rob Mills as a healthcare provider and healer.”

“I wanted to say thank you. Since visiting your clinic, my health has made a huge turnaround. My blood pressure is back to normal, I’ve lost almost 20 pounds, and have a lot of energy now. No night sweats or anxiety attacks. I even just went into Goodwill today and spent a long time looking through books with no problem. My wife and I are also moving back to our cabin in Washington. Since we’ve taken on a vegetarian diet, we’ve decided we want to grow our own food. Your advice on hydrating, descending, cooling, etc. foods has been a game changer. Anyway, thank you so much for your help in getting me back on track. You have been an answer to prayer.”
