Acupuncture is one of the modalities of Oriental medicine. Although what is called acupuncture in the West comprises several different therapies (such as moxibustion and cupping), mostly it consists of the insertion of fine needles into the body at specific points shown to be effective in the treatment of specific health problems. These points have been mapped by the Chinese over a period of 2,000 years, and there are more than 1,000 known acupoints. In the past three decades, electromagnetic research has confirmed the existence and location of these points.

Acupuncture has been known to be effective in various disorders, such as:

1. Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders: toothaches, earaches, sinusitis, rhinitis, laryngitis
2. Respiratory Disorders: colds & flus, bronchitis, asthma, allergies, emphysema
3. Gastrointestinal Disorders: food allergies, nausea, indigestion, diarrhea, constipation, ulcers, colitis
4. Circulatory Disorders: hypertension, high cholesterol, arteriosclerosis, angina pectoris
5. Urogenital Disorders: cystitis, stress incontinence, neurogenic bladder, prostatitis hypertrophy

8. Psycho-emotional & Neurological Disorders: depression, anxiety, insomnia, headache, migraine, trigeminal neuralgia, post-smoke paralysis, dizziness, tinnitus
9. Infertility: extremely effective in regulating hormone levels in the body, acupuncture can boost your fertility and increase your chances of successful conception

As you can see, Acupuncture is a safe, natural and effective way in treating numerous disorders. Treatments will depend on the duration, severity, and nature of your complaint.
