What Can Acupuncture Help With?

While most people know acupuncture is great for pain relief, we are frequently asked “Can Acupuncture help with: ____? ” The answer is more often than not a resounding “Yes!” From stress relief to morning sickness, tiny painless needles can make a huge difference!

For starters, pain relief is an extraordinarily large category, including conditions from migraines to sciatica to fibromyalgia. Chances are, if you are in pain, we can help.

Women’s health is another large category, chalk-full of conditions that make women’s lives difficult, most of which we can help with. Painful periods or PMS? Yep, we can help! Hot flashes driving you nuts? Give us a call!

Besides making daily life difficult, stress can be a huge detriment to ones health. High stress can put you at increased risk of a number of health problems, including: heart disease, sleep problems, digestive problems, depression, obesity, memory impairment and others. Any guesses as to a safe, effective way of relieving stress? If you guessed acupuncture, you’re catching on!

The World Health Organization has a fairly extensive list of conditions (available here) they believe acupuncture to have proven effective in treating. If you’re not sure if we can help you, please just ask.

What’s Different about Community Acupuncture?

Most acupuncturists in the U.S. treat patients on tables in isolated rooms. This is not traditional in Asia, where acupuncture usually occurs in a community setting, with simple treatments repeated frequently for best results. At Good Medicine Community Acupuncture, patients remain fully clothed in comfortable recliners in our quiet, soothing community room. Treating patients this way has many benefits beyond being more affordable. Many people find it comforting to have others around them rather than being isolated in a private room, in the same way that a restaurant with great food isn’t quite the same if you’re the only person in it. Treatments in a group setting also promote a collective healing environment, yielding quicker, longer-lasting results than would be possible otherwise.
