Conditions Treated with Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine's applications are virtually limitless because it is a comprehensive medical system that addresses the root, underlying cause of disease or dysfunction. As a result, many people use it not only to address an illness or chronic condition, but also as a purely preventive therapy. 
Chinese Medicine is very compatible with other forms of health care. In fact, it is often successfully combined with many other therapies, including chiropractic, massage, physical therapy, psychotherapy and conventional Western medicine. Following are the most common conditions for which acupuncture has been shown to be effective.
