Lots of folks ask me how often or how long do I have to come in? Well,
Treatment Plan is a crucial part of getting better. Normally, Acupuncture
works in multiple sessions, building on each other till we get well. However,
now & then we can knock out something in 1 or 2 sessions. The longer you
have had something, the more severe it is and how strong your body is will
help determine the length of treatment plan. Generally pain problems
are better treated by treatments bunched closer together and things like
digestive problems or gynecological issues are treated weekly or even
every other week as we generally have the patient take herbs in between.
As a person gets better they will come in less frequently. A general rule
is that if you have had something for 1 year, you should have 1 month of
treatment. I generally tell people with anything chronic to give acupuncture
6-8 treatments & if the patient feels better, we know we’re on the right
track.
