conditions we treat

Often, people will ask "what can acupuncture (or Chinese medicine) treat?"   The answer is, many things!   By the standards of the World Health Organization, acupuncture is recommended for more than 40 specific conditions, (and to treat every system in the body).   The NIH (National Institutes of Health) "NCAM," (National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine) is spending a great deal of time and money to further study acupuncture, and has many clinical trials upcoming, and ongoing for some time now. 

But most importantly, thousands of years of experience show that acupuncture and Chinese medicine in general, is a safe and effective "traditional medicine," that works to promote healing, relieve pain, bring peace and ease to life, and also gets results.

People commonly seek care with acupuncture for many reasons.  Often we can help you 100% with acupuncture and Chinese medicine as a sole therapy, but also acupuncture can work in harmony with western medicine to make your care easier... and more effective.  

In my clinic, people visit for a wide variety of reasons, from gynecologic health (PMS, fertility, menopausal, menstrual irregularities) to orthopedic and neurologic concerns such as back pain,neck pain, shoulder/hip/knee pain, to oncology (cancer care), hematology (blood health), athletic medicine, injuries, headache/migraine, men's health concerns, post-surgical healing, immune health (allergies, autoimmune related disorders, arthritis and seasonal wellness (prevention)), mental health (depression, anxiety, smoking cessation, weight loss), insomnia, GI health (acid reflux, chronic diarrhea and constipation, etc.), cardiovascular health such as blood pressure issues, stress management (very important for ALL health!) and so much more.
