- Feelings of anxiety or depression
- Migraine headaches
- Irritable bowel syndrome and other types of abdominal discomfort

Acupuncture can be a very useful tool for patients dealing with complex conditions like fibromyalgia. In fact, some patients find acupuncture to be more effective in managing their condition than traditional treatments. In certain cases, traditional medicine is medically necessary. However, acupuncture can be used to support these standard treatments.
