Traditional acupuncture, as practiced by Licensed Acupuncturists (LicAc), employs the full range of diagnostic and treatment techniques developed over more than two millennia. By treating the person as a whole, acupuncture can effectively address the root causes of a wide range of both acute and chronic conditions, as well as benefitting the overall well-being of the patient. Conditions helped by acupuncture include:
- Digestive disorders
- High blood pressure
- Arthritis
- Autoimmune diseases
- Menstrual and menopausal problems
- Asthma, allergies and chronic sinusitis
- Infertility
- Depression and other emotional problems
- Sprains and strains
- Back and joint pain
- Insomnia
- Headaches, including migraines
- Stress
- Smoking cessation
Depending on your individual circumstances and personal preferences, acupuncture can be used either as an alternative to Western medicine or to support Western treatment.
