Indications

Acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine have been used for thousands of years to treat a wide diversity of medical conditions.

The World Health Organization (WHO) published a list of diseases and conditions effectively treated by acupuncture in controlled clinical trials. The list is not exhaustive. So always ask if we can help you with an unlisted complaint.

You can also visit the neutral website www.iocob.nl, in which the results of investigations on a number of complaints by means of all kinds of complementary treatment methods are published.
