Lately I've been experiencing a lot of fatigue. Can acupuncture help?
Yes. Acupuncture can help. The number of treatments that you would need would vary depending upon the reason for your fatigue, but you typically would see some result in three or four treatments, though you would probably need more to completely resolve the issue. Again, depending upon the cause, it may be the kind of condition that does not completely resolve, but requires management, although they would, even then, be typically fewer and farther between. You would probably benefit from Chinese Herbal Medicine in addition. READ MORE
Does acupuncture help in treating depression?
Yes. Acupuncture can be very good for treating depression. You will want to coordinate the treatment with her doctor. Also, you should understand that acupuncture is a therapy, and it will involve a course of treatment, not a single treatment. READ MORE
My wife has no drive for sex. Will acupuncture be able to help at all?
It is possible. It would depend upon the underlying cause. It would probably require acupuncture and herbs, and would not be a quick fix, but would take a number of treatments. READ MORE
Can acupuncture help me in managing stress?
Yes. Acupuncture can be very effective for stress. It should be thought of as a therapy, not a one-time treatment. It should be done over a period of time. The number of treatments necessary will depend upon the individual, but you should expect to lessen the frequency as you improve, perhaps getting to the point where you only need an occasional "tuneup."

Can acupuncture help me lose weight?
It can help, but you cannot expect rapid, dramatic weight loss with acupuncture. It helps with appetite, metabolism and with the emotional aspects around dieting. Ususlly, acupuncture for weight loss is done in conjunction with herbs and dietary counseling. READ MORE
Will I have to get acupuncture throughout my life?
It depends upon the nature of the pain and your response to acupuncture. For "weekend warrior" back pain, you can expect it to resolve typically within three or four treatments. Sciatic pain is trickier, sometimes resolves quickly, sometimes longer. For something like degenerative disc disease, you would be looking at longterm maintenance, as acupuncture can't restore the discs, but can alleviate the pain with succesively longer periods of relief, but not complete resolution.

Can acupuncture help treat thyroid imbalance?
It can help as an adjunct treatment, but not as the sole or even primary treatment. You would want to make sure that it was done in conjunction with your MD, especially since acupuncturists would like want to use herbs in addition to acupuncture. READ MORE
