Conditions Treated with Acupuncture

At Turning Point Center, we specialize in the treatment of chronic pain and stress-related injuries. We define stress-related injuries broadly as those injuries that arise from living in a complex, fast-paced, and polluted environment.

Headaches, postoperative complications, hormone imbalances, addictions, allergies, on-the-job injuries–all have their origins in stress of one form or another.

Our practitioners regularly attend continuing education classes to stay current on the latest research and most effective techniques. Herbal medicine, moxibustion, Tuina, massage, and electroacupuncture are utilized to address specific conditions when necessary and appropriate to maximize improvement.

Our clients present a wide range of conditions when they seek care. The World Health Organization recognizes more than 75 conditions that can be treated with acupuncture.
