What Can Acupuncture Treat?

In 2009, the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommended that acupuncture should be made available on the NHS, as a cost-effective short-term treatment for the management of early, persistent non-specific lower back pain.

As well as back pain, acupuncture has proven to be effective for a wide range of conditions. However, due to Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) guidelines, we are currently restricted in listing the many conditions that can be helped by acupuncture. The British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) has compiled unbiased and accurate general information on a variety of conditions in the form of factsheets.
