Conditions Treated
Acupuncture provides a natural, drug-free approach to getting well or out of pain without the risks of side effects from unnecessary surgeries or medications. Acupuncture focuses on the root of the problem, not just the symptoms. If you, any of your loved ones, or someone that you may know is suffering unnecessarily from any of the conditions listed, come see me and I’ll let you know what Acupuncture can do for you.
The conditions listed are the most common conditions that people come to see me for. However, if your condition isn’t listed here, it doesn’t mean that Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine cannot treat your condition. Get in contact with me and I’ll be happy to let you know if your condition can be treated with Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

How effective the treatment is depends on the severity and nature of the condition being treated. Acupuncturists are trained to identify conditions that may require referral to a specialist, so it is important for you to provide detailed information about your condition so that important medical problems are not overlooked.
If you are under the simultaneous care of different health practitioners, it is important to keep all of them informed about your treatments to ensure there are no adverse interactions.
Who Can Benefit From Treatment?
Patients of acupuncture range from infants to senior citizens. They may be seeking an alternative to Western medicine or it may be their last hope for relief, having exhausted other methods of treatment for a chronic condition. Or, an acupuncturist may be their first choice of health care practitioner for a low-risk form of treatment with few side effects.
