Conditions Treated with Acupuncture

​

Since TCM is a whole body medicine with acupuncture stimulating the Qi throughout the body, the range of conditions treated is very broad.  Here is a list of conditions that can be safely treated with acupuncture.  Much of this list is based on what the World Health Organization, (WHO) determined.  You can see the WHO list here:  https://www.evidencebasedacupuncture.org/who-official-position/

 

This list is not exhaustive so if you have something not here, please ask about it as it will most likely be helped at some level with acupuncture.
