If you’re straddling the fence in regard to whether you should try acupuncture or not, you’re not alone. A lot of people have their doubts as to whether acupuncture can help them with their particular issue, and that’s why we’ve compiled a list of some of the most common ailments that acupuncture successfully treats.

You’re Experiencing Chronic Pain

It is advocated on behalf of the American Pain Society and American College of Physicians that patients experiencing chronic back or neck pain try acupuncture. Web MD actually cites back pain as the number one reason people seek out acupuncture treatment, which makes sense when you consider that 8 out of 10 people experience low back pain at some point in their lives. If you’ve tried conventional methods of healing and are feeling like you’re at your wits end, then acupuncture is a route you should consider.

You Have a Women’s Health Issue

Acupuncture is proven to help treat many women’s health issues, such as fertility issues, irregular menstruation, menopausal changes, and nausea caused during pregnancy. Acupuncture helps to lower stress levels, and as such, gives your system a healthy recharge while you’re nurturing the womb.

You’re Dealing with Anxiety or Depression

Sometimes therapy is not enough for us when we are experiencing bouts of mental shakiness. Therapy, in conjunction with acupuncture therapy sessions, however, makes a difference. People who experience anxiety, depression, and sudden mood swings find acupuncture is successful. This is because the needles activate the “happy” neurotransmitters in your brain. This is a healthy alternative to prescription medication.

The pleasures of wellness that acupuncture can afford you are endless. No matter what struggle you are currently enduring, our trained acupuncturist Cindy Albon, LAc is empathetic to your burden. Allow her to jumpstart your journey toward recovery with you.
