For Fertility acupuncture As a general guide, we recommend weekly sessions for a minimum of 8-12 weeks, although some conditions may require longer treatment periods ie: up to six months and some less frequent. You will still benefit from fortnightly acupuncture however the overall treatment time may take a little longer be longer. You can have acupuncture at any point in your cycle as we will adapt the treatment to your cycle stage. If you are wanting to start acupuncture straight away, to run alongside your IVF or ART cycle, then Then approx 5 – 6 sessions are planned to work with your treatment cycle. For General acupuncture This depends on the individual patients needs and the nature of their problems. It is usual to have weekly or fortnightly treatments initially. These then space out once the patient’s condition has improved, to monthly or more. Some people use acupuncture as a preventative measure and often come once a month or at the change of the seasons to support and maintain their bodies balance.
