Why One Acupuncture Session Won’t Cut it

Patients often ask how many sessions do I need to get rid of my health problems? It is a difficult question to answer as you can see from the image above, many factors contribute to your current health challenges.

By the time most patients walk into an acupuncture clinic, their health predicaments are often chronic (lasting longer than 6 months), have a laundry list of medications and are not in the best shape of their lives.

Before you come to your acupuncture session, we often ask patients to a reality check :

1) Do they expect quick fixes?

Healing is not a linear process and may take some time, effort and commitment to get to the root of your health problems. We ask patients to give 2-3 months of commitment to care.

2) Are they willing to do the ‘work’?

This often involves changing lifestyle habits and eating differently. While we don’t expect patients to do a complete 360 of their dietary elimination, we do require commitment to eliminate those that are culprits in their predicaments.

Once we get an idea of how committed you are to you health and wellness, we can then begin the work.
