Will acupuncture fix my _______?
When you talk to an acupuncturist, we may tell you that acupuncture can treat just about anything. You may wonder how that’s possible or if it’s even true.
You may be curious about acupuncture, but are unsure about how to find a practitioner that treats or specializes in your condition.
In the articles below, I have done my best to help answer some of these questions, both looking at the theories and research that help explain acupuncture’s effectiveness as well as exploring some common conditions that bring people into the clinic.
Acupuncture is more than just needles. East Asian medical interventions for maintaining health and longevity include herbal medicine, dietary therapy, frequent movement and meditation (Qi Gong), and medical massage (like Tuina and Shiatsu).
