This is a very common question asked by patients to Acupuncturists. Well, what about my specific condition? Have you ever heard of Acupuncture for Diabetes? Does Acupuncture help with weight loss? Can Acupuncture help my migraine headaches? I’ve heard Acupuncture helps with anxiety, is this true?
The answer is yes….Acupuncture treats everything that a western medical doctor treats but we treat it naturally with a combination of Acupuncture, Chinese herbs, diet, lifestyle changes, and perhaps other supplements and suggestions. Acupuncture has been known to reset the nervous system. Since the nervous system is the main control center of the body, it is very inTNuential in making bodily changes that get the body back to a state of harmony and balance. Acupuncture is so effective in its treatment for mental, emotional and physical disorders that medical doctors are recommending that their patients start incorporating Acupuncture into their repertoire of modalities to keep the body healthy. In addition, large organizations such as the World Health Organization and National Institute for Health are now recognizing Acupuncture as a scientifically proven medical modality that helps to recoup the body, alleviate pain, balance mental/emotional issues, and helps with disease prevention.
