How long does it take to get better?The hardest question to answer and to most realistically prepar

The hardest question to answer and to most realistically prepare our patients is about recovery time.

Modern research shows that most treatment of diseases is 2-3 times per week for 2-6 weeks depending on the progress and syndrome of the disease. Modern research also shows that the effectiveness of acupuncture lasts about 24-48 hours depending on the person. However, since acupuncture corrects the flow of Qi in the body, frequent acupuncture in the beginning of any onset of illness/diseases/pain would act as an initiator and send the body right back on track. To maintain and improve the illness/pain would definitely require lifestyle changes. Generally, 2-3 weeks to 1 month to act as the initiator. Monthly or biweekly treatment would be recommended as followups.
