How often will I need to be in for treatments?
Number of Treatments Recommended: After an initial evaluation, a trial course of acupuncture is recommended. This usually consists of four- eight weekly visits during a three or four-eight week period. While individual cases vary, some improvement should be observed within this period.
If satisfactory results are achieved, occasional follow-up visits may be required to maintain balance. Just as with other forms of treatment, it is possible that some patients may require long term care. The number of treatments varies depending on patient condition and individual constitution. Chronic problems generally require more treatment than acute problems.
Maintenance sessions ex: either weekly, biweekly, monthly or quarterly sessions, are recommended to help maintain your improved quality of life.
Booking Transparency:
The Acupuncturist is physically working 13- 15 hour days, to safely facilitate treating patients in 12 hours of non-stop clinic treatments. In order to respond well to your Acupuncture Treatments/Sessions -
PRE BOOKING YOUR ACUPUNCTURE SESSIONS is imperative.
**It is recommended to pre-schedule 4-6 weekly sessions to ensure the consistency of your treatment plan. The Registered Acupuncturist tends to book up 4-8 weeks in advance** Otherwise, the Acupuncturist may have to offer you to be added to her waitlist, if you feel comfortable booking each future session as your treatments are rendered.
Upon your first time consultation & acupuncture session, the consideration of maintenance treatments will be discussed.
Pre-booking maintenance sessions are also recommended.
