By request from a patient I will create a short list of possible indications and contraindications for acupuncture and moxibustion treatment modalities, which in my case often also include a little ‘finishing touch’ of massage. (For a while I will not be able to do that, because I hurt my right hand …)
This list will likely change over time.
Musculoskeletal system (indications)
- Stiff shoulders / neck
- Low back pain
- Pain of the knees, or other joints
- Muscle pain
- Strains
- Tendinitis
Musculoskeletal system (acupuncture not helpful)
- Bone fractures
- Torn muscles or tendons
- crushed tissue injuries
- Acute bleeding / open wounds
Internal medical conditions
- Hypertension (maybe not curative, but worth a try)
- Diabetes (maybe not curative, but worth a try)
- Gastrointestinal problems
Gynecology
- Breach position
- Induction of labor
- Preparation for safe birth
- Menstrual pain
- Supporting efforts to get pregnant
Pediatrics
- Listlessness
- Respiratory problems (chronic)
- Emotional balance
- Atopic dermatitis
Neurological disorders
- Paralysis
- Spastic conditions
- Cerebrovascular stroke
- Coordination disorders
Mental problems
- Depression
- Stress related problems
- Anxiety
- Sleep disorders
Things acupuncture mostly cannot help with
- Degenerative changes (e.g., deformation due to old age)
- Obvious deviations from normal physical / chemical functions:
- -> A broken bone is change in normal anatomy. A needle placed there will NOT cause an instant miraculous healing.
