Your acupuncturist will advise you on the ideal frequency for you. The most common is a weekly session. A session cycle consists of about 5-10 treatments depending on the problem to be treated and its severity, duration of symptoms, age of the patient, etc… In some cases fewer sessions may be enough and in others several cycles will be necessary of sessions. There is no exact number of sessions, and it is possible that you begin to feel changes after the first session, or that they may not become noticeable until the third or fourth session.
