What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient treatment method from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that has been used for thousands of years to treat various conditions and symptoms. In modern primary care practice, it is increasingly used to offer patients a holistic, low-side-effect therapy option.
The World Health Organization (WHO) published an indication list in 1997 recognizing the effectiveness of acupuncture for various diseases and symptoms. This list is a valuable resource for patients and physicians and can be viewed on our website.
