Again, this depends on the condition being treated. But as a general guideline, we often start out at once per week until your symptoms stabilize. If you symptoms are severe, such as a pain level of 7 out of 10 or higher, we may suggest you come twice a week until the pain level decreases. Once your symptoms stabilize and you feel well from one treatment to the next, we decrease the frequency. If you are seeking support for low-level chronic issues, we often recommend every two weeks or once per month.

We try to use as few needles as possible to create the desired effect. If you seek treatment for only one complaint, you may have 6-10 needles. If you have multiple complaints that are long-standing, you may have upwards of 20 needles. But it is important to realize that acupuncture needles are smaller than any needle you have ever been poked with, so the sensation will be nothing like receiving a shot or getting a piercing. It is also much more gentle than dry needling, but often far more effective. It is usually a pleasant experience.

Acupuncture is an effective treatment for many conditions. In our experience, acupuncture is helpful 80% of the time.
