What Conditions Does Acupuncture Treat?

Acupuncture has been recognized by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO) as an effective therapeutic treatment for a wide variety of medical problems. In cases where Western medicine may be limited to prescribing medication for symptom management, acupuncture may be able to intervene and encourage the body in a self-healing process. Studies in the U.S. have shown that acupuncture can help relieve chronic low back pain, migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, symptoms of osteoarthritis, post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as reducing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. It has also demonstrated clinical success in achieving pregnancy when used in conjunction with in-vitro fertilization. Clinical studies of acupuncture in the treatment of a wide range of illnesses have led to acupuncture's acceptance beyond pain control.
