Depending on what the issue is, ideally treatment would be weekly initially. This could be for anywhere from 2-8 sessions depending on your individual results. If you’re in pain, it could be beneficial to come twice a week to get on top of it. Once improvements have been gained and maintained, treatment can reduce anywhere from fortnightly to monthly depending on results. During this phase, changes will be stabilised and improved upon. Some people may only need a few treatments to get rid of soemthing that is niggling them. Everyone has individual responses to acupuncture and goals.
As maintenance, once symptoms have been alleviated or resolved, you may like to ‘top up’ preventatively. This could be anything from monthly to twice yearly, depending on the stessors in your life. In Chinese medicine theory, imbalances can be felt on the pulse long before they turn into a symptom.
