What Can Be Treated by Acupuncture?

In Chinese Medicine we treat the patient and not the disease. We look at an individual’s case history in order to establish what may have caused the symptoms or disease. Then we aim to correct this imbalance, and by doing so ease or cure the disease. In other words, we treat the root cause of the ailment as well as the symptoms. Due to this approach to the treatments of ailments, Chinese Medicine can be helpful in most conditions.
