Number of Visits

Depending on the severity of your condition, fewer or more treatments may be required. On the first visit you'll get an idea of how many visits you may need for your condition being treated.  The number of visits typically ranges from 2 to 10, and some patients choose to have infrequent as-needed follow-up visits.

Acupuncture is the insertion of tiny needles into particular points on the body to reduce pain and cause other specific healing reactions.
