What do Acupuncturists treat?

Because Acupuncture treats the whole person, it has something to offer almost every condition. Having said that, some conditions respond readily to Acupuncture treatment and some are notoriously difficult to treat. In many cases, Acupuncture can bring about a complete cure; in others, it is an effective management strategy. Of course, in cases of life-threatening trauma and emergency conditions, your first visit should always be the hospital!

Firstly, with regard to pain, Classical Acupuncture can often resolve the pain (rather than merely manage it). Secondly, Classical Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine have a range of application that is far broader than pain conditions.

For example, Acupuncturists routinely and successfully treat patients whose main complaints are related to immune and/or endocrine dysfunction. Below is a list of conditions and circumstances for which people commonly find Acupuncture treatment to be effective:
