Acupuncture is an alternative medicine that can help reduce pain, including the painful cramping people with diverticulitis often experience. After assessing a client's needs during the first visit, the practitioner will develop a customized treatment plan to target his or her specific issues. In addition to managing the pain of diverticulitis, acupuncture may also help to reduce swelling, ease stiffness, and calm muscle soreness.
