Absolutely, acupuncture improves the functioning of all organs and helps to balance hormones and other bodily functions fluids such a stomach acid.
Yes definitely. You might need herbal medication prescribed specifically for your condition as well.
Great question, and yes, acupuncture and Chinese herbs are great for stomach issues. At Tampa Bay Acu Health and Spine, we have multiple google reviews for having helped people with chronic, complex stomach issues that had been unresolved for years. You should try to see an Acupuncturist who does the classic diagnostic methods, meaning they will evaluate your tongue appearance and your pulses. This helps them understand your internal imbalance, which guides the treatment plan. You may need acupuncture, herbs and/or natural supplements in addition to dietary advice. But stomach issues can certainly improve with the right approach.

In a word, Yes! Acupuncture is good for stomach problems. Keep in mind, there are myriad Digestive conditions that will necessarily be evaluated and treated accordingly. Hippocrates, the Father of Western medicine said, "LET THY FOOD BE THY MEDICINE...LET THY MEDICINE BE THY FOOD" and "ALL DISEASE BEGINS IN THE GUT."

Acupuncture has proven to be an excellent alternative for gastro-intestinal problems. After a comprehensive evaluation a TCM practitioner will give a treatment focused in your particular “stomach problem”.
I have treated many patients with stomach/gastric issues successfully. Not all were helped with acupuncture only, but a combination of acupuncture and herbal supplements seemed to be very effective. Check with your primary to make sure you’re a good candidate for alternative medicine.

Yes, depending on what specific stomach problems you are referring to.
Usually, yes, acupuncture can be a good treatment choice for digestive issues and stomach problems. This is one place where it can be very handy to have a western diagnosis in place first as there are some issues that might require a more invasive treatment.
After ruling out more serious problems, it comes down to what kind of stomach/digestive issue you're experiencing and how good your provider is at dealing what that particular issue.
