How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments required is determined by the nature of the complaint, the underlying health of the patient and how the patient responds to treatment. It is best to approach acupuncture like a form of therapy. Some chronic conditions require ongoing treatment, while other conditions may resolve in a matter of 2-3 treatments. Many patients choose to continue treatment on a bi-weekly or monthly basis as part of a self-care routine to prevent illness. This is in keeping with one of the basic tenets of Chinese medicine that prevention is better than a cure.
