What Can Acupuncture Treat?
Acupuncture, moxibustion and herbal medicines work by activating the body's own healing powers. So they can be beneficial for nearly all 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 eastern medical techniques. Below are some common conditions I and others have treated, but please feel free to call me to discuss your specific health condition 207-332-9941.
