Acupuncture is a profound and sophisticated system of medicine originating in China and dating back around 4000 years. As a holistic method of healing, acupuncture is capable of addressing imbalances on all levels of one's being -physical, mental, and emotional. It works to restore the balance, vitality, and natural flow of energy within the body and mind.
According to traditional Chinese medical theory, the internal organs of the body have very important functions, ones that extend far beyond the roles they have on the physical level. Actually, it is thought that the state of one's internal organs is what determines how someone thinks, feels, and acts. This means that everything a person might experience in life -joy, anger, panic, clarity, sadness, overwhelm, worry, fear, elation, and contentment- is actually a reflection of the balance (or imbalance) of energy among the body's organ systems. A blockage, disruption, or weakness in this flow of energy between the organs will eventually lead to some form of disharmony and disease. Similarly, when the energy within the body is abundant, strong, and moving as Nature intended, there is no limit to the level of health and quality of life a person might experience.

One of the most common misconceptions about acupuncture is that it only treats physical conditions, such as headaches or the lingering pain of an injured knee. While acupuncture is indeed very effective in treating physical issues, it is capable of so much more. In fact, acupuncture is an effective treatment for a wide variety of health concerns -mental and emotional, acute and chronic. Below is a list of conditions considered by the World Health Organization to be treatable with acupuncture, as well as some of the issues I commonly see in my practice.
