The scope of acupuncture treatment is very broad.  It can potentially affect any physiological process.  Simply put, any function the body is capable of regulating can be affected by acupuncture.  It treats disorders of the digestive, respiratory, circulatory, immune, nervous, and urogenital systems, as well as allergies, addictions, emotional imbalance and other stress-related problems.  It can focus on a particular aspect of the body and make it stronger and healthier.  It can treat the physical/emotional continuum and impact one's sense of well-being in the world.
