FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
Answer: All these modalities work by optimizing the body’s capacity to heal. Acupuncture, additionally, tries to unblock the flow of Qi (vital energy) in the body, which, in Traditional Chinese Medicine, is believed to be the primary driver of most pathologies.
Healing depends on several factors, including (but not limited to) the patient’s age, the extent, and the chronicity of pathology (acute vs. chronic). For some patients, one session may be enough; for others, it may be needed for extended periods.
Healing depends on many factors mentioned above, but no single treatment modality, Surgery or Acupuncture, works for everyone. A good rule of thumb is that if you do not see any improvement by the fourth session, these modalities may not be the right option for the condition for which you seek treatment.
At our center, after acupuncture, we usually send home with ear needles, which reduces the need to visit our center frequently. In the first month or two, we typically recommend 2 treatments, after which we like to see our clients about once a month until the disease goes into remission. At this point, treatments can be spaced once every 3-4 months.
