Conditions treated by acupuncture
This isn't intended to be a fully comprehensive listing but it gives some idea of the range of conditions that might be treated with acupuncture. Obviously some are treated more successfully than others. For some of these conditions acupuncture treatment would be complementary to conventional treatments whilst for others it could be a primary treatment. For specific advice do call or email me.
