Treatment Frequency

We all respond differently to treatment so it is not possible to give exact advice as to how many treatments will be needed to feel improvement or how long a patient will come for acupuncture.

Treatment is usually required weekly for the first 4 - 6 sessions and then the frequency is reduced as improvement is made.

The goal of acupuncture is to help the body to help itself so treatment will be diminished as soon as possible.

Some patients recover completely from the issue they have come for and so stop treatment altogether, whilst others need to keep coming, less often, for the improvements to hold.

Many patients choose to continue treatment on a less frequent basis for health maintenance.
