Acupuncture is a form of alternative medicine based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It has been used safely and effectively to treat a wide range of symptoms, and is now recognized by both the World Health Organization and the National Institute of Health as an effective treatment, either in place of or in conjunction with conventional medicine.

Acupuncture is widely used to treat pain. This may include muscle pain, joint pain, arthritis pain, tendonitis, sports injuries, sciatic pain, and chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia.

Headaches and migraines often respond well to acupuncture.

It has also been proven effective in treating chronic health conditions like asthma, allergies, sinusitis, and digestive disorders, and some forms of numbness or weakness.
