How Many Acupuncture Treatments Will I Need?

How Many Acupuncture Treatments Will You Need?

This question of how many acupuncture treatments comes up all the time.  The answer has to do with many factors AND…

In general, 6-10 treatments will help significantly. 

Whether you seek acupuncture for chronic pain issues, digestion issues or women’s health issues like fertility, 

Acupuncture will generally improve your main complaint in a noticeable way after 6-10 appointments.

 

What You Can do 

Be sure to follow your acupuncturist’s advice on frequency of appointments.

This allows you to see results faster. If time and or money is low in the budget, you may need more patience with acupuncture. This is because you will get better, it will simply just take longer…

This is called the Slow Medicine-And-It Works!

 

Be open to your licensed acupuncturist’s suggestions on lifestyle factors such as diet, sleep and other tweaks that may help improve your main complaint.

Remember, you are paying this practitioner for their expertise.

They do have a Graduate degree in Acupuncture and are motivated to help you heal and to feel better.

So, open your mind and let the healing begin.

 

Other Factors to Consider

  • Age
  • Lifestyle 
  • Overall Health
  • Compliance (coming in as recommended)
  • Body mechanics (Are you re-injuring treated area with overuse activity)

Some respond better than others to acupuncture. Some prefer acupuncture more than others. This is true with all modalities. 

One thing I love about treating patients using acupuncture is that it is an individualized treatment and we are all so very different.

What works with one, does not always work on another.
