How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments will vary from person to person. Some people experience immediate relief; others may take weeks or months to achieve results. Chronic conditions usually take longer to resolve than acute ones. Plan on a minimum of a month to see significant changes.

Treatment frequency depends on a variety of factors: your constitution, the severity and duration of the problem and the quality and quantity of your Qi. An acupuncturist may suggest one or two treatments per week, or monthly visits for health maintenance and seasonal “tune ups”.

Is acupuncture safe for children?

Yes. In some instances children actually respond more quickly than adults. If your child has an aversion to needles, your acupuncturist may massage the acupuncture points. This is called acupressure or tuina.

Why did my acupuncturist recommend herbs?

Herbs can be a powerful adjunct to acupuncture care. They are used to strengthen, build and support the body or to clear it of excess problems like a cold, fever or acute pain. We use herbs that have a GMP (Good Manufacturing Process) guarantee and are therefore tested for pesticides, heavy metals and other contaminants.

If herbs are prescribed as part of your treatment for reproductive health or fertility enhancement, the formulas may differ based on where you are in your cycle.
