What conditions are treatable by acupuncture?

In terms of Chinese Medicine, acupuncturists treat an imbalance of Qi, but in Western Medicine, they treat hundreds of symptoms and conditions with positive results Among the most frequently treated are the following.

Allergies	Dizziness	Kidney Stones Numbness
Arm and Shoulder Pain	Emphysema	Menstrual Disorders
Arthritis	Fatigue	Menopausal Symptoms
Asthma	Fibromyalgia	Migraines
Back Pain	Gall Bladder Disorders	Muscle Cramps
Bed Wetting	Gas	Neuralgia
Bronchial Conditions	Headache	Numbness
Bursitis	Hemorrhoids	Pain (anywhere in the body)
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome	Hiccoughs	Sciatica
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome	High Blood Pressure	Shingles
Cough	High Cholesterol	Sinusitis
Colitis	Immune System Deficiency	Skin Problems
Constipation	Indigestion	Stop Smoking
Depression and/or Anxiety	Infertility	Tendonitis
Detox from Addictions	Insomnia	Ulcers
Diarrhea	Irritable Bowel Syndrome	Urinary Problems

This list is just some of the conditions that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has recommended as appropriate for acupuncture treatment. But the list is by no means exhaustive. In fact, many people who have conditions or a complex of symptoms for which western doctors have no solution can be successfully treated with acupuncture. Recent studies have shown that acupuncture treatment also works for what western medicine would label as psychological disorders. Because Chinese Medicine sees the body, mind and spirit as a single whole entity, acupuncture does not separate mind and body either.
