Four Rivers Acupuncture

The World Health Organization has publicly endorsed acupuncture as suitable for treating a wide range of concerns including:

• arthritis • uncomplicated asthma
• depression • ear, nose, and throat disorders
• fatigue • gastrointestinal disorders
• herpes pain • gynecological disorders
• infertility • headaches and migraines
• insomnia • sciatica and back pain
• stress/anxiety • side effects from Western medical therapies
(i.e. chemotherapy)


The National Institutes of Health (NIH) concluded that acupuncture treatment is effective for the following:

• addiction • carpal tunnel syndrome
• asthma • many pain-related conditions
• headache • fibromyalgia (general muscle pain)
• low back pain • postoperative pain
• menstrual cramps • stroke rehabilitation
• nausea of pregnancy • tennis elbow
• postoperative and chemotherapy nausea and vomiting


Because each person is unique, each case must be evaluated individually. In some instances, another treatment modality maybe more effective, in which case your practitioner will make a referral.
