How many acupuncture treatments you need varies from person to person. It depends on several key factors, including the nature and severity of the condition, how long it has been present, and the patient’s overall health. At Raleigh Acupuncture, we take an individualized approach to treatment, tailoring our recommendations to each patient’s specific needs.
New Patients
For new patients, we typically begin with one treatment per week for four weeks and then assess their progress. If there is no improvement after this initial period, we stop treatment, as acupuncture should produce noticeable changes by that point. However, if patients improve, we evaluate how quickly they recover to determine the best course. Our goal is always to help patients heal as efficiently as possible.
Acute Versus Chronic
The length of treatment often depends on whether a condition is acute or chronic. Acute conditions, such as a recent injury, muscle strain, or sudden pain flare-up, usually resolve within a few treatments. These cases respond quickly because the body has not yet developed deep-seated imbalances. Chronic conditions, on the other hand, typically require a longer treatment course. Issues such as arthritis, neuropathy, or long-term digestive problems have developed over months or years and usually take a bit more time to resolve. However, even in chronic cases, patients often experience meaningful improvement within the first few weeks.
Resolution Versus Maintenance
Some conditions resolve completely with acupuncture, while others improve significantly but may require ongoing care. Patients with recurring or long-standing health concerns sometimes benefit from monthly maintenance treatments to sustain their progress and prevent flare-ups. Since every person’s healing process is unique, we adjust treatment frequency accordingly to achieve the best possible outcome. If you have questions about how many acupuncture treatments you need, we encourage you to text or call us.
