HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO WORK?

This varies on a case by case basis. It depends on the duration, severity and nature of your complaint. Some people experience immediate relief from the symptom that has been of concern to them. However it is always advisable to complete a course of acupuncture as, due to the theory of holism, it is unlikely that a symptom exits in isolation, and unless the root cause of the problem is rectified, then the symptom will either reoccur or appear in another guise. We also advise that if you have been experiencing pain or discomfort for a long period time it is common sense that any treatment performed by any medical or alternative therapist will not miraculously solve the problem in one treatment. We therefore recommend a minimum course of six treatments and we have found that many people experience substantial relief after this period of time. However chronic conditions may require up to fifteen treatments and some degenerative conditions may require many treatments over time.
