## Conditions Treated

Oriental medicine is a comprehensive system of medicine. It works with your body to produce true healing instead of suppressing symptoms. A few of the conditions successfully treated by acupuncture and Oriental medicine:

General:

- Women’s issues, including painful periods, menopause, and other gynecological issues. These are treated without requiring uncomfortable examinations.
- Chronic pain, especially joint and muscle pain, and arthritis (osteo and rheumatoid), as well as headaches and other discomforts.
- Fatigue, including chronic fatigue syndrome, or a general feeling of being down.
- Most conditions that respond to drug treatment, respond even better to acupuncture and Chinese herbs - with few or no side effects. Be assured that the decision to remove yourself from prescription medication rests between you and your prescribing physician.
- Most chronic conditions such as allergies, asthma, and more respond extremely well to acupuncture.
