Acupuncture can help with specific symptoms and conditions that people experience when they feel unwell. Some examples would be anxiety states, arthritis, asthma, back pain, circulatory problems, depression, facial paralysis, fibrositis, high blood pressure, indeterminate aches and pains, infertility, menstrual problems, migraines, rheumatism, sciatica, skin conditions or ulcers. Acupuncture is a safe treatment for all. It has proved to be effective in pregnancy management and for the relief of pain in childbirth. Acupuncture is also helpful for people trying to overcome addictions such as those related to smoking, alcohol, food and drugs.
Many people also have acupuncture as preventative treatment to strengthen their constitution or because they feel "out of sorts" without being unwell in a medical sense. It can also be used in conjunction with conventional medicine in the treatment of both acute and chronic disease. As with any therapy the response to acupuncture treatment can vary from one person to another.
