A Partial List of the Vast Spectrum of Acupuncture Utility includes:
- Neurologic and muscular/joint disorders (including post- stroke states, some neuropathic conditions, multiple sclerosis, some aspects of Alzheimer's disease) and an extensive list pertaining to pain [as a symptom of various conditions ranging from arthritis, carpal tunnel, back pain, hip and knee pain to headache (including symptoms caused by sinus conditions)]
- Anxiety conditions; minor to moderate depression; ADD/ADHD
- Gastro-intestinal disorders
- Respiratory disorders
- Genito-Urinary disorders (including menstrual and reproductive disorders, prostate conditions, a variety of kidney and bladder conditions).
- Various pain symptom complexes as exemplified by fibromyalgia or energy syndromes (like chronic fatigue syndrome).
- Smoking cessation
I must repeat that this is only a partial list - acupuncture is appropriate for much more than I've included!
