Conditions TreatedChinese medicine is a comprehensive system of medicine. It works with your body to produce true healing instead of suppressing symptoms. It does this by addressing & treating the root cause of disease and not simply masking the symptoms. A few of the conditions successfully treated by acupuncture and Chinese medicine:
General:
- Women’s issues, including painful periods, infertility, menopause, and other gynecological issues. These are treated without requiring uncomfortable examinations.
- Chronic pain, especially joint and muscle pain, arthritis, as well as headaches and other discomforts.
- Fatigue, including chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia or a general feeling of being down.
- Most conditions that respond to drug treatment, respond even better to acupuncture and Chinese herbs – without side effects. However, we insist on partnering with your doctor to determine a proper course of treatment. Some medications need special care and planning.
- Most chronic conditions such as allergies, asthma, and more respond extremely well to acupuncture.
