The practice of acupuncture among conventional western doctors has grown significantly in recent years. Acupuncture points are often interpreted in western medical terms according to specific physiological / anatomical features, often related to the nervous system. For example, a "trigger point" is the part of the neuromuscular system having heightened sensitivity to cause a characteristic pattern of pain. An example is a tender area in the muscles of the neck and shoulder, which may relate to various patterns of headache. Some of the more common conditions, among others, which can be treated using TCM and herbal medicine include: Arthritis, back pain, sciatica, sports injury - tendonitis, neuralgia, headache, sinus, dizziness, ear ache, asthma, high blood pressure, diabetes, ulcers, indigestion, colds and flu, bronchitis, hepatitis, infertility & impotence, pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS), anxiety, depression, stress, insomnia.
