Is acupuncture once a month enough?

Age, underlying health, is the condition acute or chronic.
How are acupuncture needles removed from your ear?
Thank you for your question.
How quickly does acupuncture work for migraines?
You can get relief from a migraine after one treatment and the effect can last hours or a day or two. It is important to understand the root cause of the migraines and the individual patient is properly assessed. Typically, a series of treatments are recommended to treat underlying causes and balance the body.
How many acupuncture visits should I have per month?
The number of treatments you need depends on the reason you are seeking acupuncture. If it is a specific issue, get an evaluation and a recommendation should be given to you. If you are seeking preventive wellness, then I always recommend monthly treatments to my patients to maintain overall well-being, prevent injury and disease.
Thank you for your question.
Can acupressure help knee pain?
Acupuncture is very effective in treating chronic or acute knee pain. It is also good to treat the knee pre and post surgery. It can reduce pain and swelling and it works by improving blood flow to the area to promote healing. The number of treatments needed depends on the individual issue.
Thank you for your question.
Does acupuncture help nerve pain?
Yes, acupuncture can help nerve pain. After an evaluation a recommended number of treatments should be given to you. Treating nerve pain does depend on the underlying condition and you will probably need several treatments to improve the condition. A consultation and evaluation would be the first step to determine treatment. But acupuncture is a great option for treatment.
Thank you.
Can acupuncture help you sleep?
Yes, acupuncture can help sleep issues. It helps calm the nervous system and ceates a relaxed state. I treat a lot of sleep issues in the office and from my experience as a patient and practitioner I find it very helpful in people's lives.
Is acupuncture good for swollen knees?
Acupuncture can help with swollen knees. I treat a lot of knee pain and swelling is sometimes associated with it. If you are looking for an acupuncturist in your area you can check the national registery NCCAOM to find someone close to you who is certified. Also, word of mouth or google is helpful.
How quickly does acupuncture work?
How quickly acupuncture works depends on the chief complaint of the patient. Typically, acute conditions resolve quicker and chronic conditions can take months to resolve. In my office, I do a consult with the patient and review their history and the main condition they want treated. Then, I develop an individualized treatment plan to meet their needs.
I hope this helps.
Thank you,
