Many people come to acupuncture for help with specific symptoms or to relieve specific pains. Acupuncture seeks to treat the cause of of these symptoms, both on a physical and on a mental/emotional level. 

Some have acupuncture because they feel generally unwell but have no obvious diagnosis. Others choose acupuncture as a preventive measure to maintain good health. 

Because acupuncture aims to treat the whole person rather than specific symptoms in isolation, it can be effective for a range of conditions.
