Immune System
Fast, Natural Relief for IBS and IBS-D in Greenville, SC at Cloud 9 Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine
Are you tired of living with the daily discomfort of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or IBS-D (diarrhea-predominant IBS)? At Cloud 9 Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine in Greenville, SC, we help patients heal their gut and regain control of their life using a proven combination of Acupuncture, Medical Ozone Therapy, ATP Resonance BioTherapy™, and Direct Vitamin Injection Therapy.
Our holistic approach is designed to address the root causes of IBS—not just manage the symptoms—so you can feel better, faster.
What Is IBS—and Why Is It So Hard to Treat?
IBS affects over 35 million Americans and is characterized by symptoms like:
- Bloating and gas
- Abdominal pain or cramping
- Diarrhea (IBS-D), constipation (IBS-C), or both
- Urgent bowel movements
- Brain fog, fatigue, and mood changes
Many people with IBS are prescribed medications that only offer temporary relief—and often come with side effects. That’s why more and more patients are turning to natural, integrative options that treat the gut-brain connection and restore balance from the inside out.
How Cloud 9’s Integrative IBS Program Works
At Cloud 9, we take a multi-therapy approach that treats both the digestive and nervous systems to reset gut function and reduce inflammation. Our patients often report significant improvements within 2–4 weeks of starting care.
🌀 Acupuncture for IBS Relief
Acupuncture is one of the most effective natural therapies for IBS. It works by:
- Regulating the autonomic nervous system (gut-brain axis)
- Reducing intestinal inflammation and spasms
- Balancing motility for IBS-D or IBS-C
- Calming anxiety and stress, which often worsen symptoms
Our Greenville-based acupuncture clinic uses specialized protocols to target the digestive system and provide rapid relief.
🌿 Medical Ozone Therapy for Gut Inflammation & Microbiome Balance
Medical Ozone Therapy is a powerful anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial therapy. For IBS and leaky gut, it helps:
- Kill off harmful gut bacteria or pathogens
- Boost oxygenation and cellular repair of the intestinal lining
- Reduce chronic inflammation in the digestive tract
- Improve microbiome balance naturally
This therapy is especially helpful for patients with chronic IBS-D, SIBO, or post-infectious IBS.
⚡ ATP Resonance BioTherapy™ for Nervous System Reset
IBS is often rooted in nerve signaling dysfunction along the vagus nerve and digestive tract. ATP Resonance BioTherapy™:
- Helps regulate gut-brain communication
- Reduces hypersensitivity and intestinal spasms
- Supports healing at the cellular and neurological level
- Is painless, needle-free, and extremely effective
This treatment helps your nervous system “relearn” how to digest and eliminate properly.
💉 Direct Vitamin Injection Therapy for Nutrient Absorption
Many IBS patients suffer from malabsorption, meaning they don’t fully absorb nutrients from food or supplements. We offer:
- Vitamin B12 and B-complex for nervous system and gut lining repair
- Vitamin D to reduce intestinal inflammation
- Magnesium and other key nutrients to promote regularity and calm intestinal spasms
Delivered via injection, these nutrients bypass the digestive system and go straight to work.
Real Results—Naturally and Fast
Most patients begin to feel relief within a few weeks of starting treatment. Some even notice reduced urgency, bloating, and pain within the first 3–5 visits. Because our therapies address the root cause—not just the symptoms—results are often long-lasting.

Acupuncture for Boosting Your Immune System
Your immune system is your body’s defense against infection and disease. It is made up of a variety of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect you from harmful germs.
There are a number of things you can do to boost your immune system, including eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and getting enough sleep. Acupuncture is another natural way to boost your immune system.
What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body. These points are believed to be connected to energy meridians, which are channels that flow through the body.
When needles are inserted into these points, they are thought to stimulate the flow of energy and promote healing.
How can acupuncture boost your immune system?
There is some evidence to suggest that acupuncture can help to boost the immune system. For example, one study found that acupuncture was effective in increasing the number of white blood cells, which are essential for fighting infection.
Another study found that acupuncture was effective in reducing inflammation, which can weaken the immune system.
How does acupuncture work to boost the immune system?
The exact way that acupuncture works to boost the immune system is not fully understood. However, it is thought that acupuncture may help to:
- Increase the production of white blood cells
- Reduce inflammation
- Improve circulation
- Promote the production of natural killer cells, which are a type of white blood cell that helps to fight infection
Is acupuncture safe for boosting the immune system?
Acupuncture is generally considered to be safe for boosting the immune system. However, it is important to see a qualified acupuncturist who is experienced in treating this condition.
How many acupuncture sessions will I need?
The number of acupuncture sessions you will need will vary depending on your individual needs. However, most people see improvement after a few sessions.
Can acupuncture be used alongside other treatments for boosting the immune system?
Yes, acupuncture can be used alongside other treatments for boosting the immune system, such as medication or lifestyle changes.

The Best Way to Find the Best Acupuncture Clinic for You
Whether you’re suffering from low back pain, or neuropathy, infertility or headaches, you’ll want to find the best acupuncture clinic that suits your needs the best.
The very best way is to call and speak with the receptionist of your clinic of interest and ask them if they have experience in or specialize in your primary condition you are seeking care for. While most acupuncturists have trained extensively for 3-5 years in graduate level study acupuncture programs, and receive a Master’s degree or a Doctorate (also known as a Acupuncture Physician), it’s still best to work with an acupuncturist or clinic that has experienced success in treating your condition.
Some questions you can ask when you phone a prospective acupuncture clinic:
Has the acupuncturist treated my type of condition before?
What is the success rate of treating my condition at this clinic?
How many years of experience does the acupuncturist have?
Do you offer any additional therapies beyond acupuncture to help address my condition?
What can I expect during my first visit? (Is it just a consultation, or will I receive treatment that day?)
Most of our patients are referred by word of mouth, from former patients who have also experienced success. Our acupuncturist Dr. Laura Parks does specialize in chronic, complex conditions and has been practicing for over 13 years. She received her acupuncture doctorate from Five Branches University, and acupuncture masters from Maryland University of Integrative Health (formerly Tai Sophia). Dr. Parks has been treating Fertility patients for over 13 years and specializing in neuropathy for over 4 years, with over a 85% success rate.
What’s Our Medical Director Been Up To?
Have you heard? Our Medical Director, Laura Parks, M.Ac., L.Ac. went back to school and will be graduating at the end of April 2023 with her Doctorate in Acupuncture. 13 years after graduating with her Masters degree in Acupuncture, we’ll be calling “Dr. Laura” to the clinic with all her new wisdom on how to help patients.
Here’s what she had to say about her doctorate experience so far: “It’s been so great studying advanced, complex conditions like Lyme’s disease, advanced fertility and gynecological issues, pediatrics, and autoimmune conditions, weighing in with some of the most brilliant minds in the country. Last semester I got to celebrate getting straight A’s in all my classes while juggling family life and running a very busy clinic, all while completing medical internships, studying modern acupuncture research, and learning from live case studies. I’m so grateful for this opportunity to take my training to the next level and serve thousands of patients in the future with this centuries old medicine.”
We can’t wait to see what the future holds upon completing her doctorate this April!
