Conditions Treated

Chinese medicine is a very comprehensive system of medicine. It works with your body to produce true healing by assisting the body’s self-healing mechanisms and correcting biochemical imbalances.  Those recovering from or struggling with a health problem can benefit from such care. Most people seek out acupuncture and herbal medicine after being disappointed with the results of medications and other treatments.  Even the strongest modern drugs usually can only mask symptoms, not cause healing.  True healing is only possible when the body heals itself.

Preventative care is the most important step to maintaining health and wellness.  Those who utilize Chinese medicine to regain balance learn to consider it a fundamental part of any wellness plan.  Effects such as boosting immunity, reducing stress, and improving energy are commonly experienced.

A few of the conditions successfully treated by acupuncture and Chinese medicine:

General:

  • Women’s issues, including painful periods, 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, 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.
