Conditions Treated
Oriental medicine is a comprehensive system of medicine that treats a vast array of diseases and disorders. It achieves this by treating your body as a single, whole system - everything is interconnected - and works with your body to heal the underlying causes of disease, disorder, and discomfort.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has conducted numerous studies of acupuncture, and has found it to be effective for a wide variety of ailments, with “substantially lower incidence of adverse effects than many drugs or other medical procedures used for the same conditions”, and “the data in support of acupuncture are as strong as for many Western medical therapies.”
