Acupuncture stimulates nerves, muscles and connective tissue in order to help boost the body’s natural healing agents to combat disease. While acupuncture is often used as an all-natural pain relief, there are many other things it can effectively treat. Some of the ailments commonly treated by acupuncture are:
-
Digestive disorders such as gastritis, hyperacidity, spastic colon, constipation and diarrhea.
-
Respiratory problems such as sinusitis, sore throat, bronchitis, asthma and chest infections.
-
Neurological and muscular disorders such as headaches, facial tics, neck pain, rib neuritis, frozen shoulder, tendinitis, low back pain, sciatica and osteoarthritis.
-
Menstrual and reproductive difficulties.
-
Stress and emotional conditions and their physical effects on the body.
