I am happy to hear that your son is doing better now. Yes, acupuncture can help to boost his immune system. Each time he has bronchitis, it weakens the lungs and makes him more susceptible to contracting the disease again. In Chinese medicine, emotions such as sadness and grief are also factors that affect the lung's Qi (chi). This creates a blockage in the system and can cause recurrent problems with the lungs. A licensed acupuncture physician can help with finding the root cause of the problem and help to restore the proper functions of the body resulting in an improved immune system. In the meantime, breathing exercises can also help the lungs.

Acupuncture works best with a maintenance program to maintain the balance & harmony within the body. You have to consider that if you haven't done acupuncture for 2 years your body changes internally everyday and It's not possible to tell anyone how long the effects of the acupuncture treatments will last because the body changes on a daily basis considering aging, harmones, emotions, and lifestyle all has to do with the body functioning at its optimal level. I would suggest you do acupuncture again and discuss with your Acupuncture Physician an appropriate maintenance program for you. Good luck!

Yes, Acupuncture can help with Vertigo. An evaluation by a skilled Acupuncture Physician is necessary in order to diagnose the underlying cause of the Vertigo.

Vertigo can be challenging to treat (especially chronic) and may require a few treatments as well as the inclusion of herbal formula to restore balance in the body.
