About Acupuncture
health


Acupuncture can help with many ailments.
These are just some of the disorders
that can be treated:

  • Pain:
      • Musculoskeletal~ including back, knee, shoulder, hip pain, muscle sprains and strains, acute injuries, chronic repetitive stress injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica and post-surgical recovery 
      • Headaches
      • Arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, carpal tunnel syndrome
      • Fibromyalgia    
  • Sleep:
      • Insomnia ~trouble falling or staying asleep

  • Energy:

  • Fatigue
  • Lack of Mental Focus

  • Emotions:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Stress-Reduction

Because acupuncture treats the whole body, it can affect the underlying causes of illness or pain as well as alleviate symptoms.  This holistic approach enhances physical well-being, balances emotional states, and reduces stress.  Acupuncture can be used alone or in combination with other medical systems.

Acupuncture can also help with preventive care and seasonal "tune-ups".

A "consensus development panel" convened by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 1997, after evaluating 17 scientific presentations that summarized hundreds of studies, found that acupuncture may help relieve pain after surgery and dental work, may lessen nausea cause by chemotherapy, and my help keep morning sickness at bay.  The panel also noted "suggestive" evidence that acupuncture may help in stroke rehabilitation and in fighting drug and alcohol addiction, headache, menstrual cramps, tennis elbow, general muscle pain, osteoarthritis, lower-back pain, carpal-tunnel syndrome, and asthma. *http://consensus.nih.gov/1997/1997Acupuncture107html.htm
