Why is Chuna therapy needed for digestion?

The thoracic and lumbar spine are directly connected to the autonomic nerves controlling the stomach. Chuna alignment normalizes gastric autonomic function and helps digestion.

Is Chuna effective for stress-related indigestion?

Yes — stress-induced cervical/thoracic tension hyperactivates the sympathetic nervous system and impairs digestion. Chuna releases muscle tension, restoring autonomic balance and improving digestion.

Is Chuna therapy covered by health insurance?

Yes, when accompanied by musculoskeletal symptoms, Chuna is covered.
