Diseases we treat

What Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) helps with?

In the United States, acupuncture is commonly recognized for its effectiveness in pain relief more so than its ability to treat other health problems. However, acupuncture is actually recognized by the World Health Organization and National Institute of Health as effective at treating many other conditions, especially as a holistic approach to medicine.

In the hands of a well-trained practitioner, acupuncture has much broader applications beyond pain relief. The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes the use of acupuncture in the treatment of a wide range of common illnesses.
