What conditions are best treated with acupuncture?
Rosemarie Allen • June 12, 2024

Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points along the body's meridians, believed to be channels that carry energy (qi) throughout the body. By inserting thin, sterile needles at these points, acupuncturists aim to restore balance and promote the body's natural healing abilities.

Conditions that respond well to acupuncture

Conditions that respond well to acupuncture at A Balanced You include:


  • Pain Management: Acupuncture is a well-recognized option for chronic pain relief. It can be effective in managing headaches, migraines, neck pain, back pain, arthritis pain, and also sports injuries.
  • Stress and Anxiety: Acupuncture's calming effect helps reduce stress hormones and promotes relaxation. This can be beneficial for those struggling with anxiety, insomnia, and other stress-related conditions.
  • Allergies and Seasonal Issues: Acupuncture can help regulate the immune system and alleviate allergy symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes.
  • Women's Health: Acupuncture can be a valuable tool for addressing menstrual cramps, fertility issues, hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms.
  • Digestive Issues: From nausea, vomiting, gas and bloating, to constipation and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acupuncture can offer relief for various digestive problems.
  • Sports Performance: Acupuncture can enhance athletic performance by improving recovery time, reducing pain, reducing muscle tension and increasing energy levels.
