What Can Acupuncture Treat?
In theory, virtually any complaint can be treated with acupuncture because in Chinese medicine, all illnesses are seen as due to some disharmony.
Treatment is focused towards treating the constitutional imbalances rather than simply addressing specific syndromes, which is often the case in conventional Western medicine.
Acupuncture diagnosis and treatment takes into account the disease symptoms, as well as the age, lifestyle and physical and emotional imbalances experienced by a patient. Many patients also come to acupuncture for preventative treatment.
This is not an inclusive list, but acupuncture can help you if you suffer from:
Headaches and migraines
Menstrual disorders
Infertility/Sub-fertility
Pregnancy and labour
Menopausal symptoms
Respiratory illnesses, including asthma and bronchitis
Anxiety and depression
Stress and hypertension
Pain and tension in the back and the joints
Addictions
Immune disorders
