How often should I come for acupuncture treatment?
Acupuncture is most often effective when conducted as a series of treatments. A typical treatment plan would begin with four visits approximately a week apart, over the course of a month. These treatment sessions will last about 50 minutes but we suggest you reserve a full hour’s time. At each of these visits you and your practitioner will be evaluating the ways acupuncture is making positive changes in your presenting concerns as well as your overall health. If a subsequent series of treatments is advised it is likely these will expand to cover a longer interval of time, i.e. every other week for a few sessions, then once a month, then seasonally.
