Most people come to treatment with a specific complaint, something they would like to see changed. Those who have tried acupuncture on a regular basis report additional benefits including:
- being ill less often and recovering more quickly
- improvement or abatement of the initial symptoms
- improvement in the quality of personal relationships
- lower medical costs
- fewer visits to physicians
- less extreme changes in mood
- improved sleep quality
Your body is wise and it communicates its wisdom to you through the symptoms that you have. The ultimate goal of acupuncture treatment is to help you prevent illness by recognizing the early signs of imbalance. Clients will typically make a commitment of five visits each one week apart in order to treat the body at a foundational level; at the end of the five weeks you will be able to tell if this treatment is serving you. At this time the treatments get spaced out to two weeks apart, then three weeks apart, then four, etc. You set the treatment schedule based on the way your body feels.
The Greek physician Hippocrates, considered the father of modern medicine, said, "The natural healing force within each of us is the greatest force in getting well."
