How many visits will I need and how often?

The number of visits required depends on your individual treatment plan, your specific condition, and your overall health. For acute issues (recently developed), relief may be achieved within 1 to 3 sessions. Chronic conditions typically require a longer course of treatment. Your acupuncturist will discuss your treatment plan with you and provide guidance on the expected course of care. Initially, treatments are often scheduled weekly, with sessions becoming less frequent (e.g., bi-weekly or monthly) as you progress. Some individuals choose to continue acupuncture as part of a long-term wellness strategy for managing ongoing health concerns, while others may no longer need treatment once their issue has resolved.
