What Can Traditional Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Help Me With?

How can acupuncture help my body Denver

It has come to my attention recently that a lot of people aren’t aware of the wide variety of things that acupuncture can help with. As a practitioner and someone who has studied this medicine I sometimes forget that acupuncture is still new to a lot of people and so I thought now is a great time to address it in a post.

TCM (traditional Chinese Medicine) including acupuncture is a whole system of medicine that includes body, mind and spirit. Because of this all encompassing point of view it can address a wide range of health concerns.

So I thought it might be fun to go through some top five- Top 5 best known things it can address, Top 5 lesser known and Top 5 possible surprises

Top 5 best known issues treated with acupuncture

  1. Pain

  2. Sleep problems

  3. Stress/anxiety

  4. Digestive problems-IBS, Crohn’s disease, gas, bloating, constipation

  5. PMS and Irregular menses

Top 5 lesser known issues treated with acupuncture

  1. Fertility issues

  2. PCOS/ Menopause

  3. Colds/sinus problems

  4. Autoimmune conditions

  5. PTSD

Top 5 possible surprise conditions treated with acupuncture

  1. Erectile dysfunction

  2. Concussion recovery

  3. Fine lines and wrinkles

  4. Addiction

  5. Rheumatoid arthritic

So you can see from this very abbreviated list that acupuncture and TCM can address an extremely wide and varied number of things from the common cold to infertility. Though acupuncture and TCM may take a series of appointments to fully address your issues the outcomes are usually longer lasting and with fewer negative side effects. It is also very common to notice other areas improve as primary concerns are addressed. Hey my PMS symptoms are so much better and so is my sleep and skin! or my stomach pain is gone and my sleep quality is way better then it used to be.

I think it is also worth pointing out that TCM and acupuncture are wonderful complements to western medicine as well. The two can work really well together and are not at odds with each other. So even if you are being treated by an MD, a DO or other more western ideologies acupuncture can still help and even support what is being done with your doctors.

Give acupuncture a go!
