1.  As a general blanket statement, for an acute condition, anywhere between 3-5 treatments, you should notice improvements. Our acupuncturists use the highest and most effective acupuncture points and combinations to get patients better, faster.
2. How progressive the condition is and how long the patient has been battling the issue for are general factors that play a part in how many treatments you will need. Chronic, or longer term health conditions may need upwards of 5 treatments.  You can ask us and based on your specific health problem, we can give you our best estimates of recovery time and relief.
