Some patients come back in once or twice a year for a booster while others may come more often. In general, patients do better if they avoid sugar and milk in their diets. They have better and longer lasting responses. I have seen many patients who failed medication and allergy shots respond to acupuncture. Patients continue with whatever standard treatments they are currently undergoing while getting acupuncture treatments.
Most patients end up significantly reducing or eliminating their dependence on allergy medications.
In choosing an acupuncturist the specific style a practitioner uses is not so important as the success rate a practitioner obtains with whatever style they use. Prospective patients should speak with the acupuncturist and inquire about past experience in treating seasonal allergies and their success rate. In conclusion, it is my opinion that acupuncture is an excellent treatment option for seasonal allergies. All Rights Reserved. Web Development Wind's Eye Design, Inc.
