Can acupuncture help me and how many treatments will I need?

Acupuncture can be beneficial for patients who have specific symptoms from an illness or for those who want to use it as a preventative treatment method.  For an acute condition a patient may only need 2 – 3 treatments.  A series of 5 – 15 treatments are suggested for patients with a chronic illness to address the illness and to notice improvement. Some degenerative conditions may require many treatments over time.  Many acute, chronic and degenerative conditions can be improved or relieved with acupuncture treatments.
