Acupuncture
Acupuncture treats the whole person rather than the disease, helping to restore the body's balance. Acupuncture dates back thousands of years and is still being used today because of its effectiveness. Acupuncture is a safe and gentle choice to treat many health conditions. If you are wondering, "Can acupuncture help me?" the answer is probably yes.
The National Institute of Health Consensus states "one of the advantages of acupuncture is that the incidence of adverse effects is substantially lower than that of many drugs or other accepted procedures for the same conditions."
The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a comprehensive list of diseases and conditions for which acupuncture has demonstrated therapeutic effect. Many of these conditions listed have been proven treatable by acupuncture through controlled trials. While reading the following list, please remember that Chinese Medicine treats the individual holistically, seeing a bigger picture than a single symptom or disease.
