HOW CAN ACUPUNCTURE HELP ME?

There are three main ways where acupuncture therapy can help.
1.	Treating specific disorders to provide relief of symptoms and reduce complications.  Acupuncture is also used to treat the cause of the disorder and reduce the likelihood of its reoccurrence.
2.	Maintenance treatment of a long term problem:  This is to provide a more comfortable state of health and reduce the need for medication ad surgery.
