What follows is a list of conditions which have been approved by AcuNet® as consistent with the diagnostic and treating skills of licensed acupuncturists. This list has also been approved by the Council of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Associations, representing over 1,400 California licensed acupuncturists. The list is not meant to be exhaustive. Nor is it meant to imply that all L.Ac.'s treat all conditions on this list, as many acupuncturists specialize in a limited scope of conditions. Note that while a broad range of diagnostic categories are covered, the conditions listed are generally those which can be diagnosed in an office setting. Furthermore, these conditions are not life threatening. This list is based on the recommendations of the World Health Organization and the available scientific literature in the field, and is consistent with what is taught in the acupuncture colleges and tested on the licensing exam.
