Other Conditions Acupuncture Treats
Dr. Gorla always says we treat everything except acute trauma (emergency medicine) and cancer. And we do. Because acupuncture is an energetic medicine, and different aspects of the body are not separated out as in Western medicine, we treat the body as a whole. ( In reality, every part of our bodies are designed to work together intricately and beautifully). By treating the body holistically, we look at the causes of the conditions and treat on that level. That’s how we can actually restore the body to wellness and not just mask the symptoms. |
