How often should I come?
At Desert Health, we want you to experience maximum relief from your health complaints in the shortest amount of time possible. For acupuncture to have a lasting affect, it is best to receive it frequently and often enough for a cumulative improvement in your health.
Below are some basic guidelines that apply to most conditions.
If your problem is new
For example, you have back strain from recent overexertion, then you will experience the best benefit from multiple visits in a short period of time -- two or three treatments in a week for a period of one or two weeks. By this time, your problem should be much better, and you and your practitioner can determine if further treatments are necessary.
If you have a long-term problem
It is usually best to start with a round of
treatments close together (usually twice a week) for a period of time and then gradually increase the amount of time between treatments as your condition improves.
If you are seeking relief from uncontrollable events
With complaints such as job related stress or the common cold, then it is best to think of acupuncture as a tool to help you. While acupuncture cannot change the fact that your job causes you stress, or that you sat next to someone with the flu on the bus, it can help alleviate the affects of these external pressures. During those times, come in once or twice a week, or as often as you need to alleviate the symptoms.
