What Can Acupuncture Treat?

Acupuncture works by activating the stagnant energy in the body and helping it redistribute throughout the system, so it can be beneficial for many health conditions. Since this affects the entire system (all 12 meridians) that is why in TCM the body is seen as interconnected. There is no area of the body unaffected by any other area. A completely holistic model of health.  

The World Health Organization (WHO) has documented many symptoms, diseases, and conditions that have been shown in controlled clinical trials to be effectively treated with acupuncture. Below are some common conditions I treat regularly, but please feel free to contact me about your specific health condition.
