How many treatments will I need?

The number and frequency of treatments needed to achieve results will differ from person to person depending on many factors, including the conditions being treated, age, general health, and individual response to acupuncture.

A course of treatment may involve anywhere from three to twelve sessions scheduled once or twice per week. As a general rule, acute problems tend to respond quickly, whereas chronic or severe conditions require a longer course of treatment for significant benefits to accrue. The effects of acupuncture are cumulative, and you should feel an overall improvement in your health along the way.
