When should you see an acupuncturist?
If someone is suffering from back pain, knee pain, headaches, nausea, muscle tension, sinus infections, hormonal programs. Usually, people will see an acupuncturist, and the therapist will determine if acupuncture is the right treatment for that individual. People should see a holistic practitioner, someone who will look at thier health from head to toe.
How frequently should someone see an acupuncturist?
It depends on the individual and the condition that is being treated. Someone may get relief after one treatment, others who are suffering from chronic conditions (e.g. bad arthritis or nerve pain), would require more regular appointments (e.g. weekly or twice a week). Each acupuncture treatment builds on itself. For instance, the first treatment may last one day, then the subsequent treatments will provide longer relief, 3 days, 4 days or even 6 days plus. The more acupuncture treatments you have for a particular condition, the more you will have a lasting effect.
