What Conditions Does Acupuncture Treat? One of the most frequent questions I am asked is, "What kinds of problems are best treated by acupuncture and Oriental Medicine?" I include here a list of diseases and conditions for which I have found acupuncture and herbal medicine to be quite effective. It is often in the nature of how and when people turn to alternative medicine in this country that when I first see people, they have problems that have plagued them for many years, and they come to me only after they have exhausted all that Western medical treatments have to offer. I am grateful that there is still something that I can offer in these situations, but I must say that acupuncture, like other systems of medicine, does best with problems when they are new. Acupuncture is one of the oldest systems of Preventative
Medicine, and many people see me for
the powerful work that can be done to ensure Perfect Health,
the state of energetic well-being for the body and mind that can
prevent disease and allow life to be enjoyed fully that was the
medicine of the Emperors of China and Japan. For further information on acupuncture and the
conditions it treats visit Acupuncture.com For further information on Pediatric Acupuncture,
