ACUPUNCTURE

Do I have to choose between acupuncture and other types of health care?
Acupuncture is compatible with other systems of health care. I will be happy to work in conjunction with you and other health care practitioners. My wish is that you receive maximum benefit from all sources.

How many treatments are needed?
The number of treatments needed to alleviate a disorder varies depending on the type of illness and the overall health and vitality of the individual. Generally, acute diseases of short time can be treated successfully within a few treatments. Chronic problems, which have taken years to develop, will not be “cured” overnight. Gradual change over time will reflect the gradual restoration of the body’s strength and vitality.
