What Our Acupuncture Offices and Clinics Can Treat
Acupuncture works by activating the body’s own healing powers, so it can be beneficial for many health conditions. The World Health Organization (WHO) has documented many symptoms, diseases, and conditions that have been shown in controlled clinical trials to be effectively treated with acupuncture and other traditional Chinese medicine modalities.
Below are some common conditions that can be effectively treated in our acupuncture clinic. Note that many of these conditions may require that you have seen a western medical doctor before treatment with Chinese medicine. Please feel free to contact me with questions about your specific health condition.
