HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

During your initial consultation visit we will set up and go over a treatment plan that is customized for you based on your condition. Acute conditions may only require 1 to 2 treatments. Chronic conditions may require a series of treatments. It is recommended a minimum of 6 to 12 treatments weekly or more with an on-going reassessment of your condition.  Acupuncture effects are cumulative and it may take several months or more to resolve a chronic condition.
