Like all modalities of healing, having the right dosage is key. We can’t expect to get strong with one weight training session or flexible with one yoga class. Medications are often taken daily to constantly give our body what it needs. Generally, acute conditions need fewer treatments than conditions that have lingered for months, years or even decades. Here at Wild Blossom Acupuncture in Madison, WI, like many other acupuncture clinics, we typically start with having treatments weekly. Sometimes we hear of miraculous improvements from just one treatment. Although those are wonderful, it is not typical. For lasting improvement, expect about 5-10 treatments to start off followed by some form of maintenance.
An increasing number of insurance companies are starting to cover acupuncture treatments. We here at Wild Blossom Acupuncture & Wellness are not currently in-network with any insurance companies, nor do we bill insurance on your behalf. That being said, there are a few ways we can provide you with care which may be covered by insurance. You will first want to understand the benefits of your personal health insurance plan.
Acupuncture points on the hand are great at treating new and acute pain (among MANY other things). They are also super easy to reach which makes it simple to treat yourself.
People report that their pain has decreased and they are now able to get back to participating in their regular physical activities. Their stress is more manageable so they feel more like themselves and are more present with their family. Or they find more peace throughout their day and are less anxious.
