What is traditional acupuncture?
What Acupuncture Can Treat
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine is extremely successful in the treatment of a multitude of conditions. Many people try Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine for serious and complex medical problems and find that it can help them when other treatments could not.
Acupuncture is also often used as a preventative medicine. Many people see their acupuncturist only 2-4 times a year for a "tune up" or "balancing" treatment. This can prevent disease and promote health, energy and vitality.
Your acupuncturist will have to look at the onset of your condition and see what your constitutional diagnosis is to determine if Oriental Medicine can help you. Each case is unique and it would be difficult to determine how effective acupuncture will be for you without a full assessment. Please contact several licensed acupuncturists in your area for a consultation to find the best suited practitioner for you.
What problems are commonly treated with Acupuncture?
The most common ailments presented to an acupuncturist tend to be pain related conditions. For example; arthritis, back, neck, knee and shoulder pain, carpal tunnel syndrome and sciatica.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is a complete medical system that is capable of diagnosing and successfully treating a wide range of conditions.

Chinese herbal medicine
Chinese herbal medicines mostly originate from plants (root, leaf and
seed), fruits and vegetables. Each herb has its own specific effect to
help body circulation and balance. The Chinese herbal medicine must
be given by qualified TCM practitioners. We conduct a diagnostic
interview, which include asking questions relating to your health
problems, taking your pulse and examining your tongue, before making
a group of Chinese herbal medicine.
