The range of problems Chinese medicine can help with
The list of problems that Chinese medicine can help with is long, and on this page we have gathered the most common ones – those affecting large portions of the population in our region. Each problem is treated with a personalized approach that takes into account the specific symptoms, lifestyle and medical history of each patient.
Chronic pain and orthopedic problems
Lower back pain, headaches and knee pain are among the most common complaints that lead patients to seek treatment in Chinese medicine. In many cases this involves chronic pain that lasts for months or even years and significantly affects daily function and quality of life.
Emotional health and sleep quality
Stress, anxiety and depression are an inseparable part of modern life, and they often affect physical health and sleep quality as well. Acupuncture and complementary medicine can help balance the nervous system and ease symptoms such as anxiety and depression and insomnia and sleep disorders. When it comes to complex eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia, treatment is always provided alongside appropriate medical and psychological support.
Women’s health and hormonal balance
Menstrual problems and period pain are an area Chinese medicine addresses extensively, based on the understanding that the monthly cycle is an important indicator of a woman’s overall health. Treatment combines acupuncture, warming techniques and herbal medicine to restore balance and ease symptoms.
Skin, respiratory and metabolic issues
Beyond pain and hormonal issues, Chinese medicine also helps with a range of chronic conditions related to the respiratory system, the skin and the body’s metabolism.
