How many treatments will I need?
Each patient is unique. The number and frequency of treatments will vary from patient to patient depending on their health condition. Some symptoms can be relieved after the first treatment, while others may take longer period, say ten to twenty treatments. Acupuncture is similar to physical therapy in that it is a process oriented method of medical intervention. It is better to do more than less.
