Condtions Treated By Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been effectively used for the treatment of back pain, headache, migraine, and sports injuries. However, acupuncture provides more than pain relief. It is helpful in treating anxiety, insomnia, digestive problems, abdominal, menstrual cramps, weight control, infertility and much, much more.

Although acupuncture has become widely accepted and available in North America in the last 10 years, it had already been endorsed a century earlier by the renowned Canadian physician, Sir William Osler , widely referred to as the "Father of Modern Medicine":

"For lumbago [low back pain], acupuncture is the most efficient treatment"

Acupuncture is a safe and effective technique for treating many health problems. In 1979, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued a provisional list of 41 diseases responsive to acupuncture. These include respiratory problems, various pain conditions, gastrointestinal problems, and premenstrual syndrome.
