Oriental medicine is a very comprehensive system. It works with your body to produce true healing instead of suppressing symptoms. It is important to note that preventative care is one of acupuncture’s strengths, and that specific symptoms are not necessary to receive treatments. Listed below are a few of the conditions successfully treated by acupuncture and Oriental 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.
