Acupuncture is one of the most popular alternative health treatments in Vancouver. However, the application of needles is often used in combination with moxibustion, a traditional Chinese medicinal therapy that involves the burning on or over the skin of selected herbs and may also involve the application of other kinds of stimulation to certain points.

The traditional Chinese health treatment is drug-free and known to have no side-effects. Therefore patients do not suffer from any possible adverse effects which makes it a distinct advantage in treating health conditions.

It is proven that acupuncture works more efficient than a placebo for most kinds of pain, and its effective rate in the treatment of chronic pain is comparable with that of morphine. Acupuncture is also often used in treating respiratory disorders. In controlled studies, it has been shown that the traditional Chinese medical treatment is more effective than antihistamine drugs in the treatment of allergies.

Acupuncture is recognized by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to be effective in the treatment of over 80 conditions. Some conditions that Acupuncture is known to treat include:

* Pain management
* Sleeping disorders
* Anxiety
* Migraine
