Course of Treatment

Course of Treatment The number of treatments required depends on the duration and severity of the conditions being addressed, but acupuncture therapy generally entails 2-12 treatments 1-2x per week. Combining acupuncture with herbal medicine and dietary therapy often leads to faster results.

On-Going Self-Care

Chinese medicine emphasizes preventing disease, increasing well-being, and treating conditions in a timely manner so that they do not progress to more severe disease. Specific recommendations for diet, exercise and sleep are an essential part of good health and longevity.

Wellness Practices and Maintenance Treatments

After symptoms and other health concerns have resolved, many patients return for periodic “tune-ups” to maintain results and improve overall physical and emotional well-being.
