Q: What conditions can be treated
with acupuncture?
A: "Most of the medical
conditions I treat with acupuncture are those chronic ones that are not
responsive to conventional medical interventions or when the patient suffers
side effects of medications," shared Faleh Atassi, M.D. He said some of the conditions for which
acupuncture can be beneficial include migraines, fibromyalgia, chronic back
pain, IBS, anxiety, depression and insomnia, also certain gynecological
disorders such as dysmenorrhea, PMS, and fertility problems.
"As a physician who provides
acupuncture, I look in-depth into the patient's presenting problem to properly
diagnose the condition and uncover any underlying pathology that needs to be
addressed through conventional medicine," Dr Atassi said. He emphasized that
a proper initial diagnosis is important so that a potentially serious medical
condition is not covered up.
Dr. Atassi is a member of the
medical staff at Porter Regional Hospital. He is board certified in family
medicine and practiced in Syria and France before completing his family
practice residency at IU Northwest.
