How many acupuncture treatments will I need?

That depends on the duration, severity, and nature of each individual’s health problem. Generally improvement should be seen within the first five treatments or so. It should be noted that acupuncture builds on itself and ideally initial treatments will be about every week. Many patients choose to use acupuncture as a preventative medicine and after no longer suffering from acute conditions choose to receive maintenance treatments (once a month or so).
