How Can Acupuncture
Help You?

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine do not treat disease, but restore the body's natural balance; such as the balance between feeling hot or cold.

While sounding esoteric, most people want to know if it will treat their diabetes, knee pain, cancer, depression, etc. The truthful answer is Yes and No.

The question that a person should be asking is Why do I have knee pain or diabetes?” Is it genetics, an unhealthy lifestyle, overexertion? An acupuncturist will examine many factors from clinical test results to current lifestyle habits to genetic and family history. This will create a complete, or holistic, picture of the person.

Once all of these details are known, a diagnosis is developed. Acupuncture is most effective in prevention and when the illness doesn’t show up in clinical results (i.e. No one can tell me why I have this pain). However, even if the illness has progressed, acupuncture can still help. How much acupuncture can help you is determined during your course of treatment.
