What Does an Acupuncturist Treat?

Acupuncture at its core is about balancing Yin & Yang and ensuring the free flow of Qi through the meridians. Any disease that somebody may experience is related to some sort disruption of the above. So, if you are experiencing an issue related to digestion, mood, mental health, gynecology, fertility, respiration, pain, muscle dysfunction, injury, and more, chances are that an acupuncturist may be an ally in your journey to find harmony.

What do acupuncturists treat? The list is very long and it will depend on your acupuncturist. Some have a specific focus e.g. internal medicine, orthopedics, pediatrics, women’s health, etc. I personally treat a number of categories. Below are some of the more common things that I treat:
