Oriental Medicine – More Than Treating Pain

I am asked all the time exactly what conditions can be treated using Oriental Medicine. Often, patients are surprised to discover that most conditions treated by a western doctor are successfully treated with Oriental Medicine. Most patients equate Oriental Medicine with acupuncture. The fact is that OM involves many different modalities designed to correct imbalances and disharmonies manifesting as symptoms. Symptoms commonly seen in my clinic are all the female related disorders: menopausal, gynecological, menstruation, yeast infections, urinary tract infections, as well as others affecting both men and women: migraines, headaches, gastrointestinal disorders, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, allergies, emotional stress, depression, anxiety, acid reflux, hives, psoriasis, eczema, post stroke paralysis, seizures, epilepsy, arthritis, peripheral neuropathy, smoking cessation, weight loss and of course, pain, to name a few. Once a patient realizes OM has an 8000 year history, it really isn’t that surprising to see the many conditions treated using Oriental Medicine.
