Conditions We Treat

A list of conditions that can be treated with acupuncture, first published by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the 1990s, gave Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapies a big boost. Although Western medicine was quickly advancing surgeries and medications to treat illness, all had risks and side effects.

“Miracle” drugs and surgeries treat existing disease. Acupuncture and other TCM therapies prevent illness by optimizing your health and wellbeing. Despite scientific advancements, Western medicine traditionally overlooks the connection between mind and body. People with chronic pain are particularly underserved by Western medical protocols. As more and more people seek to avoid the side effects of risky drugs and procedures, the list of medical conditions treated by natural remedies fills the void.
