Due to acupuncture's self-healing nature, the number of treatments varies widely. Age, medical history, and the condition being treated inform how many treatments it may require.

‍

For many, acupuncture helps to provide relief and reduce flare-ups. People use acupuncture to alleviate symptoms, and once relief is achieved, treatments can stop; others use acupuncture periodically to manage ongoing stressors and chronic conditions. To have a better understanding of how many treatments are needed, it is recommended that an initial appointment is made.

‍

In general, the treatment process has a beginning, middle, and end. The number of sessions is often determined by how fast improvements are made in the beginning stages. If there are marked improvements in the beginning stages, fewer sessions are usually needed. The beginning is when marked improvements will be made, and the middle is where we build on this and take it as far as we can until we hit the maximum therapeutic benefit.  The middle stage should build steadily, where your condition(s) improve. The end stage is where the progress is stable and lasting.
