The list is way too long for me to put here. Just about every health condition can be healed or improved with the modalities of acupuncture, massage and herbs (sometimes King herbs). I suggest you ask about your specific condition.
Many, almost anything that is causing you to be uncomfortable. I encourage you to book a session with your practitioner of choice to get help with relief.
About the only things I wouldn't treat would be someone having a heart attack, someone with acute appendicitis, or someone with a broken bone that needs to be reset. Any other condition or disease can benefit from acupuncture treatments.

You don't need it at all if you feel healthy!
Acupuncture can address any condition, and as a rule of thumb, if a condition is long in the making, it will be long in fixing.
WHO lists 166 conditions that acupuncture can treat in 2003. Acupuncture is a medical therapy that does not inject any artificial or foreign substance into bodies but modulates bodies' hormones/chemicals to treat ourself. Therefore, acupuncture barely shows any adverse effects.
Acupuncture brings balance and harmony to the body, we do not treat conditions. They seem to go away because the intelligence of your body to heal and repair itself. Acupuncture helps to turn on these mechanisms
Thank you for your inquiry. Acupuncture can treat many conditions, such as headache, pain, infertility, disc herniation, ED, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis...and many more, all kinds of chronic disease.
Literally anything and everything! Back in it's day (around 2,000 years ago), acupuncture was used as general medicine to treat anything from colds and flus to cancer. Though it is most frequently used to treat pain today, it is still able to treat any other condition you've got. It also works wonders in conjunction with western medicine and other alternative medicines. So give it a try!
You can seek Acupuncture treatment to deal with just about any health problems and also as maintenance and prevention.

Hello! Common conditions treated with acupuncture includes: muscular/joint pain, respiratory/digestive issues, headache/migraines, post-stroke, heart conditions, weight loss, insomnia, anxiety, and depression etc....
Pretty much anything you'd go to your doctor for including pains, digestive issues, colds/flu, constipation diarrhea, sleep disorders, headaches, menstrual issues, gastro-intestinal issues...
This list is really too long to give you. This is like asking "what can medicine treat?" Acupuncture is part of a medical system that treats human ailments. As long as it isn't an immediate life threat you can go to an acupuncturist to see if they can help you.

The World Health Organization recognizes acupuncture's effectiveness for over 40 disorders, such as: Respiratory disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, circulatory disorders, urogenital disorders, gynecological disorders, muscoskeletal disorders, and psychoemotional disorders. In addition, acupuncture has been used for centuries throughout Asia to treat hundreds of other problems.
It's easier to list the conditions or issues where acupuncture is NOT a good choice:
1. If a person has severe, life-threatening infection (bacterial, viral, fungal), acupuncture and Chinese medicine are not a good choice.
2. If someone suffers severe, life-threatening trauma like a stab wound, gunshot or car accident, acupuncture isn't a good choice. Conventional medicine excels at the preservation of life in the face of severe trauma.
3. If someone has cancer, acupuncture can sometimes have a dramatic effect on 1 year and 5 year survival rates when used as an adjunct to chemotherapy, but Chinese medicine on its own is not a good choice.
4. If a person has pain due to severe degradation of one or more joints, acupuncture can help to manage things but joint replacement or fusion surgery is sometimes the best long-term answer.
For almost everything else acupuncture is an excellent treatment option. For some issues, acupuncture is a superior treatment option. There is something like 120 health issues where we have either strong or moderate evidence for acupuncture's effectiveness in treatment.
To get the best possible outcome, please make sure you're seeing a board certified and state licensed acupuncturist. If you're not in CA, start with the "Find a Practitioner" link at NCCAOM.org.
