Acupuncture

Acupuncture helps for many conditions.

In 1979, the World Health Organization (WHO) organized an international seminar devoted to Traditional Chinese Medicine. One of the results was a protocol on which conditions are eligible for acupuncture treatment. This list is far from complete, so we recommend that you contact us or make an appointment to see if you can deal with your problem with acupuncture.

Several conditions have been included in the list below. We list below conditions from the WHO list, along with conditions for which we found scientific articles and conditions that we know acupuncture is helpful for but could not find any evidence for.
