What Can Acupuncture Treat?
Acupuncture works by activating the body's own healing and self-regulating mechanisms, so it can be beneficial for many health conditions. The World Health Organization (WHO) has documented many symptoms, diseases, and conditions that have been shown in controlled clinical trials to be effectively treated with acupuncture.
