Conditions Treated

Consumers Guide to Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine

Treatment efficacy 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 among treatments.

The following is a list of health conditions commonly treated by licensed acupuncturists.

  • allergies/asthma
