How Often Should I Visit my Acupuncturist?

Depending on what your reason for visiting an acupuncturist will help determine how often you should visit with for treatment. For most people, it is recommended to come weekly for the first 6-8 visits. The benefits of acupuncture are cumulative; one treatment builds on the last. You will know within between 6-8 visits how you will benefit from treatment.

After the consecutive treatments we will work towards spacing out your visits – from weekly, to every other week to less frequent visits. Your practitioner will work with you on diet and lifestyle choices that will support your treatment. Treatments will begin to hold longer and you will require less frequent treatments.

After experiencing regular treatment it is advised to see your acupuncturist during each season to restore or maintain good health and balance. We call these visits “tune-ups”.
