Why Acupuncture?

With an accurate diagnosis conducted by a trained Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner, many physical ailments, both acute and chronic, are treatable with acupuncture.

Throughout Asia, people turn first to this ancient treatment for the relief of pain and illness. The opposite has been true for many years in much of the Western world, where it is more common to consult physicians with extensive western medical training.

Gradually, with the recognition that cultural biases are inadequate reasons for excluding treatments and techniques that have worked for thousands of years in Asia, acupuncture has become a much more accepted and common in the Western world. Now officially recognized in the west as a complementary and alternative medicine, acupuncture is growing as a “treatment of choice” for many suffering from painful and debilitating conditions.

Both the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO) now recognize that there are in fact significant benefits derived when aliments and conditions are treated with acupuncture.
