  • For Acute Conditions ( Concerns that have been going on for less than 3 months) the usual treatment time frame is 6-10 visits.   
  • For Chronic Conditions (Concerns that have persisted for 3 months or more) the usual treatment time frame is 8-12+ visits.  
  • For acute conditions, progress will be assessed after 6 core treatments. For chronic conditions, progress will be assessed after 8 core treatments. As your symptoms improve it is then common to reduce sessions to every other week. When symptoms have resolved completely, it is recommended that you continue maintenance visits every 3-4 weeks to experience the benefits of acupuncture for immune support and emotional wellbeing.

How does acupuncture work?

Acupuncture works on a network of pathways in the body referred to as meridians. During treatment, the ease of flow of energy or Acupuncture promotes blood circulation, reduces inflammation, and relieves pain. It can assist your body’s natural healing process and boost your immune system. It also works amazingly to release endorphins, relieve stress, and improve longevity.

How soon can one expect results, and how many treatments are necessary?

Every case is different as each body heals at its own unique pace depending on the duration, severity, and nature of the condition. Usually, patients report feeling improvement after the first couple of sessions and in fact, many patients feel much relief after the first treatment. During your initial visit, we will create and discuss with you an individual treatment plan including approximately how many treatments we can estimate it will take to achieve the desired result.
