SYNDROMES

COMMENTS

Low Back Pain

This is a very common condition acupuncturists treat on a regular basis, both chronic and acute. Acupuncture is very effective for this syndrome.

Sciatica

This is a very common condition acupuncturists treat on a regular basis, both chronic and acute. Acupuncture is very effective for this syndrome.

Joint Pain

Shoulder pain responds very well, and usually with lasting results. Hip pain responds from good to outstanding, very dependent upon other factors. Knee pain responds very well to acupuncture. Of course we can treat any joint pain on the body.
Upper Back - Neck & Shoulder    Tension and Pain

This is a very common condition acupuncturists treat on a regular basis, both chronic and acute. Acupuncture is very effective for this syndrome.

Headaches

Migraines, Clusters, Chronic, Acute, Frontal, Occipital, Temple, etc. Acupuncture is very effective for treating this syndrome. The number of treatments depend upon the condition. Also herbs may need to be prescribed

Digestion Problems

Slow digestion, bloating, distention, cramping, constipation, diarrhea, discomfort, pain, etc. Acupuncture has an amazing effect upon the digestion system, I can vouch for it!

Gynecologic Problems

Amenorrhea (no period),  Dysmenorrhea (painful periods), Constant Uterine Bleeding, Leucorrhea (chronic vaginal discharge), Inconsistent Cycles, PMS Symptoms, Breast Tenderness and Pain, Emotional Factors, etc. Acupuncture is very effective for these syndromes. Usually treat a patient through 3 cycles (3 periods) to consolidate results.

Common Cold

This is a very common condition acupuncturists treat on a regular basis. The earlier, the better. Many times we can shorten or stop the cold from progressing into something worse. Acupuncture is very effective for this syndrome.

Autoimmune Diseases

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, HIV, etc. Many of these patients find very little relief from their pain or exhaustion. I have seen marvelous results with many of these patients.

Stress / Anxiety

Unfortunately many of us suffer from the strain and pace of modern life, and from are own personal experiences and circumstances, but acupuncture can be very helpful and very effective to treat these issues, at many different levels.
