Digestive Issues Treatment at IHP Greenville — authentic TCM, in-house herbal pharmacy. Dr. Hendry, DAOM, 25+ yrs experience. Call (864) 365-6156.
Digestive health is foundational to overall wellbeing — in both Chinese medicine ('the Spleen and Stomach are the root of post-heaven Qi') and modern functional medicine (the gut-brain-immune axis). At Integrative Health Partners, Dr. Hendry treats the full spectrum of digestive disorders — IBS, GERD, SIBO, constipation, bloating, food sensitivities, and leaky gut — using acupuncture (which has measurable effects on GI motility, gut microbiome diversity, and visceral pain), Chinese herbal medicine, and comprehensive functional medicine gut assessment.
How Digestive Issues Treatment Works
Digestive treatment at IHP begins with a detailed GI history: symptoms, timing relative to meals, bowel patterns, food triggers, prior diagnoses, and prior treatments. Dr. Hendry performs Chinese medical diagnosis focusing on Spleen/Stomach function and identifies whether the pattern is excess (Liver invading Spleen, Damp-Heat) or deficiency (Spleen Qi Deficiency, Kidney Yang Deficiency causing cold digestive symptoms). Functional medicine testing may include stool microbiome analysis, SIBO breath test, food sensitivity panel, inflammatory markers, and gastric acid assessment.
