Our Approach
With all treatment therapies, our goal is to fix the underlying imbalance or problem, rather than to simply mask the unwanted symptoms. The signs and symptoms, as uncomfortable as they may be, are viewed as a feedback mechanism indicating that there is an imbalance. It is the job of the practitioner to determine the root cause of the imbalance and administer treatment focused on creating balance. When the root cause is appropriately addressed, the unwanted signs and symptoms will subside.
Does it work?
Acupuncture is now recognized by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to be effective in the treatment of a wide variety of disorders. In 1997, the National Institutes of Health released a consensus statement on acupuncture which confirmed that "there is sufficient evidence of acupuncture's value to expand its use into conventional medicine."
What can be treated?
Chinese medicine is a complete and comprehensive medical system which can effectively treat many types of disorders. Acupuncture West specializes in acupuncture fertility-infertility treatment and acupuncture pain treatment in Boise. In addition to pain, infertility, and women’s health disorders, acupuncture can also be very helpful in treating digestive, emotional, and respiratory disorders.
