EXPECTATIONS FOR YOUR FIRST SESSION

Everyone is different in terms of age, overall health, lifestyle, diet, constitution and severity of illness.

This means that a potential outcome from acupuncture therapy cannot be known without considering all of these factors. With this in mind, the following are some general guidelines: ​

• Acute conditions typically respond faster to treatment, and it is generally better to treat them with more frequency. A good strategy is 2-3 times per week for several weeks.

• Chronic conditions respond more slowly.

• We recommend following the recommendations of your practitioner regarding herbs, supplements, diet, and lifestyle to speed up and improve your results.

• Most people see some degree of relief or improvement in their condition within 2-6 visits.

Once we have removed all of the points, you will be encouraged to take a few moments to collect yourself, your thoughts and return to the present moment. Most people have a deep sense of relaxation, stress relief and report feeling a bit “out of it” in a good way. Try to avoid excess stress or exertion after a treatment.
