What to expect during your acupuncture treatment?

For many people with pain from injury, they can often feel a difference right away.  For people with internal disease, healing is a more of a process than an event and so it will likely take longer before you feel relief.  In this case, you must give the practitioner time to heal you. If your condition took many years to develop, it is reasonable to expect that it may take many months to heal.  Also, if you have already had a great deal of treatment with chiropractic, physiotherapy, or western medicine you cannot expect to have quick results from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

And when you are already not well, it is always better to get relief sooner than later. The longer you wait, the harder the condition is to treat. You will need fewer treatments overall if you come in sooner before the condition can get worse.
