Are you new to Acupuncture or curious where it fits?
This list isn’t meant to be exhaustive—or reductive. Acupuncture also supports many experiences that don’t show up clearly on biomedical tests: unnamed sensations, patterns of discomfort, or changes in how the body feels or functions that don’t yet have a diagnosis.
If you’re experiencing something your medical provider hasn’t been able to explain, it’s often still recognizable within East Asian medicine. These patterns have been observed, documented, and worked with for a long time—and they can help us understand what your body may need support shifting.
This information is simply one way of orienting. Care here remains focused on the whole system, not on labels.
