Consultation A treatment lasts between 45 minutes and 1 hour. The number of treatments needed depends on each case however a course of 6 treatments, at a rate of once or twice a week, is in general sufficient to see significant improvement in many conditions. After the course of treatments, your condition will be reassessed and we will discuss whether more treatments are advisable or review their frequency. Indeed people often decide to continue treatments to address other issues or to maintain their wellbeing as acupuncture is not only a great way to address acute problems but also to keep the body systems working in a balanced way and prevent symptoms from coming back. During the treatment, some other therapies such as acupuncture, massage and acupressure, cupping, moxa, electro-acupuncture may be used if it is beneficial.
