Acupuncture Follow up Appointment
Description
After an initial evaluation, a trial course of acupuncture is recommended. This usually consists of four to eight visits during a three- or four-week period. While individual cases vary, some improvement should b observed within this period. If satisfactory results are achieved, occasional follow-up visits may be required to maintain balance. Just as with other forms of treatment, it is possible that some patients may require long term care. The number of treatments varies depending on patient condition and individual constitution. Chronic problems generally require more treatment than acute problems. Some patients notice an immediate improvement, while others may not notice any effect until the seventh or eighth visit. A small number of patients will experience a worsening of symptoms as the body’s energies are returning to normal, but his is usual and is followed quickly by improvement.
