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.
