As acupuncture restores health simply by rebalancing the Qi in the body, any condition can be treated. It is equally effective in the treatment of both acute conditions (colds, flu, recent muscle sprains, urinary infections etc) and the more chronic, stubborn disharmonies that Western medicine can often only offer drugs with unwanted side effects.
Musculo- skeletal problems, hay fever, sinus problems, high blood pressure, migraines, menstrual disorders, fertility issues, pregnancy related disorders, during labour (ie. pain relief, labour difficulties), post birth (ie. healing and recovery, breastfeeding problems, tiredness, post natal depression) asthma, arthritis, menopausal symptoms, immune related disorders, insomnia, stress, anxiety and depression are just some of the many examples where acupuncture has been found to be effective. For the more serious illnesses where Western medical drugs are essential and lifesaving, acupuncture has been shown in research studies to be successful in alleviating unwanted drug side effects, improving quality of life considerably.
As with all therapies, success cannot be guaranteed. For a select few there will be other factors coming into play that affect the outcome of treatment. It should also be noted that chronic, long standing conditions generally take time to be alleviated.
Listed above are just a few of the many conditions that acupuncture has treated successfully. If you are wondering if Acupuncture could help a condition not mentioned here, please call for further help and information.
