Q10:How many sessions do I need in order to start feeling the benefits?


That depends on the severity of the condition. For some people, the effect of acupuncture can be quite dramatic - they may feel the benefits after one session. For others, the response may be more gradual. In general, you should notice at least small changes in your condition within four to six treatments. If you are not seeing benefits, keep in mind that there is variability in the quality of acupuncturists. So before deciding whether acupuncture works for you, you could also consider trying a different practitioner. Just the mention of "needle" can make some people flinch. But having an acupuncture treatment is nothing like getting a shot. The needles rarely hurt or draw blood, and they usually induce a state of deep relaxation.
