Since the focus of treatment with Chinese medicine is the establishment of optimal balance and health, there are an endless number of conditions that can be treated. Practitioners of Chinese medicine will often say

“we treat the individual not the disease”.

    Nevertheless, the World Health Organization has published a list of conditions treatable with acupuncture and this is an excellent starting point for understanding its value. Robert Angotti has had experience treating many of these conditions.
