What Can Acupuncture Treat?
We treat the person, not the disease, so really there is no limit to what acupuncture can treat.The follow is a partial list of diseases and conditions for which the World Health Organization and National Institutes of Health have proven acupuncture to be helpful. In many cases, Birch Center acupuncturist Melissa Sokulski has written articles about these conditions, and we provided links to as many as possible. Melissa's articles appear in publications such as Natural News, in the Birch Center's Blog.
