Conditions Treated with Chinese Medicine (Acupuncture, Qi Gong, Herbal Medicine...)
Chinese Medicine has been used for thousands of years to keep people physically and mentally healthy. In recent years the use of Chinese Medicine has spread to all parts of the world and acupuncture, herbal medicine and other eastern medicine based techniques are now used to treat nearly every health issue that we face in our modern age. Our "conditions treated" section discusses background theory, treatment options and self-help guidance for many of the conditions that are commonly treated by practitioners of eastern medicine.
Please note that the list of conditions below is not a comprehensive list. Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine is used clinically to treat conditions ranging from Shoulder Pain to Cancer and our information here is only limited by the time that it takes us to make it available. Furthermore, there are many styles of acupuncture and techniques within each style so the information presented here is one of many possible viewpoints.
