Conditions acupuncture may assist in managing
Acupuncture has been used for more than 2,500 years in China to assist in the management of a wide spectrum of injuries and illnesses.The World Health Organization (WHO) recognises over 100 conditions for which acupuncture may assist based on controlled research.
Even though acupuncture’s efficacy has not yet been studied for all conditions, its treatment is generally considered safe ( as with any health care treatment, rare adverse effects may occur) and its low cost makes it a reasonable supportive option for many symptoms even when efficacy has not yet been proven through clinical trials.
In assistance to conventional western medical diagnosis and treatment, the symptoms of the following conditions may possibly benefit from supportive acupuncture treatment:
| Addiction | Diabetes | Hepatitis | Musculoskeletal issues |
| Allergies & rhinitis | Diarrhoea | Hypertension | Pain |
| Anaemia | Dizziness | Irritable bowel syndrome | Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) |
| Anxiety | Ear disorders | Immune disorders | PMS |
