What Acupuncture Treats
Acupuncture and related therapies such as bodywork, light therapy, and ear seeds work by activating the body’s natural healing response. The World Health Organization has documented many conditions that may benefit from acupuncture in controlled clinical studies.
Below are common concerns we support. If you do not see your condition listed, please contact us. We often help with a wide range of concerns beyond this summary.
Please note: Acupuncture provides diagnosis through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which differs from Western medical diagnosis. We encourage all patients to continue working with their primary care provider or specialist for ongoing medical evaluation and treatment. Acupuncture works beautifully as a complementary therapy.
