What does acupuncture treat? Eastern Medicine, Oriental Medicine or Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) by whichever name you prefer can help or heal just about anything going on with a patient’s body.
Unlike Western Medicine, there are three main objectives with oriental medicine:
*to relieve pain & other symptoms
*to strengthen the immune system
*to integrate the function of the organs with each other (aka balance/harmonize the body)
Acupuncture and natural herbs can be applied for almost any reason that anyone may have for seeing a doctor. If you are curious, I will list some of the major issues for which people come to see us, alphabetically, below.
