Conditions that Acupuncture Treats
An acupuncturist may be consulted for specific symptoms and conditions: such as
pain, anxiety, arthritis, asthma, migraine, menstrual disorders, intestinal disorders, etc... Extensive practice
and research has shown that acupuncture is effective in helping people with such conditions as well as many others.
It does more than simply relieve the symptoms. The aim of acupuncture is to treat the whole patient and restore balance
between the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of the individual. In traditional acupuncture,
since all illness is considered the result of an imbalance of energy, treatment can benefit almost any person as long as the
degenerative process in the tissues of the body is not too extensive. Many people also have acupuncture
as a preventative treatment or because they feel unwell in themselves but are not ‘ill’ in the western sense.
Questions Answered
A series of treatments are usually necessary to resolve a condition. Each case is treated individually.
A consultation is required to determine requirements. Treatments are 45 to 90 minutes in length. Detoxification/addiction
treatments may only last for 20 to 30 minutes. You should feel more peaceful and relaxed during treatment. There
is little or no pain as very fine, sterile, disposable needles are used. Treatments are available without the
use of needles.
Herbal formulas are usually prescribed to enhance the acupuncture
treatments and to provide further care between treatments. Children of all ages are treated. Those younger
than 6 to 8 years of age may be treated without needles using massage and/or electrical probes. Many insurance
companies cover acupuncture. Call to verify coverage and discuss options. First time acupuncture clients allow
