What conditions can acupuncture/traditional Chinese medicine treat or help with?

The list below is a summary from the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario (CTCMPAO), our regulatory body. Some of problems below respond better or more quickly than others. For some I also prefer to work with additional medical practitioners (like your family doctor) to develop an integrated treatment strategy that works best for your health goals.
