What conditions can Chinese acupuncture/herbal medicine help?
In respect of the diagnosis and treatment of illness, the knowledge and experience of the TCM practitioner is of vital importance. A thorough analysis of the patient’s experiences and symptoms, the causes, nature and location of the illness as well as the patient’s physical and emotional condition must all be taken into account for successful treatment. In general, acupuncture is more responsive to pain conditions, such as muscular skeletal pain, arthritis, migraine, although acupuncture also can treat malaria and diarrhoea; Chinese herbal medicine is more widely used for internal conditions, such as chest infections, and cystitis. Tuina, it is more effective to relieve pain, especially in muscular problems.
