Frequency of acupuncture?
Thank you for your inquiry! At the beginning of the therapy, we usually recommend to our patients attending therapy twice a week for a month and then we can reassess. It is evident that if a patient has improved after two weeks, then we are reducing the frequency. Based on your condition, it might be recommended to see your practitioner twice a week to observe some improvement. Once a week might not be enough for your body to respond to the therapy, yet. And regarding the cost, this is something that you should discuss with your practitioner and maybe he/she can help you and you might be able to find a compromise. Alexandre Hillairet, DAOM. READ MORE
