While acupuncture is often associated with pain relief, people find treatment relieves chronic ailments such as arthritis, headaches and allergies. Some use it as a complementary support for standard medical interventions such as chemo or radiation therapy which deplete the body's immune system. Others seek treatment to relieve an emotional crisis.
People seeking acupuncture are of all ages and walks of life.
