Why it’s important to keep up with your treatment plan
It can be helpful to think about your acupuncture treatment plan like your workout routine. You expect to feel good after a workout, but you don't expect to be able to do it once and be in great shape forever! This how you can think about acupuncture treatments- you can anticipate feeling awesome after your treatment, but in order to continue to support your body, your skin, and your health and wellness goals, you have to stay on top of your treatment plan, as you would your workout routine.
"What would my treatment plan look like?"
It depends on what you are coming in for.
Cosmetic acupuncture patients (depending on age, lifestyle, and goals) typically come in once a week for 6-12 weeks, then move to a monthly maintenance appointment- about every 3-6 weeks.
Patients coming in for microneedling can expect to come in for treatments once a month for 3-6 months (again depending on age, lifestyle, and goals). This series of treatments should be administered every 1-3 years.
Cupping patients managing chronic tension should come in for treatment every 3-4 weeks.
Acupuncture patients with acute care concerns can anticipate coming in about once a week to once every 2 weeks for about 3 appointments, with then moving towards a maintenance plan depending on your main health concerns. Maintenance plans typically look like treatment every 3-6 weeks. However, I have patients who see me weekly and once every two weeks because they feel great after acupuncture and use it as part of their regular care routine to support sleep, stress levels, digestion, immunity, and so much more.
Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine is an incredible effective medicine, but it needs to be administered at the right dosage. One treatment is not going to fix a nagging pain from a 20 year old injury.
