How Often Should You Get Acupuncture? A Guide Based on Your Goals

A common question from new patients is: "How often should I come in for acupuncture?" The answer depends on your health goals, the condition being treated, and how your body responds.

General Guidelines

• Acute Issues (injury, new pain): 1–2 times per week for 2–4 weeks

• Chronic Conditions (pain, stress, insomnia): Weekly sessions for 6–10 weeks, tapering as symptoms improve

• Preventative Care: 1 session per month, or with seasonal changes

Why Frequency Matters

Acupuncture works cumulatively. Each session builds upon the last to shift your body toward balance. Skipping too much time between treatments can interrupt progress, especially in the early stages.

What to Expect at The Points of Acupuncture

We always begin with a detailed consultation and custom treatment plan. We track your progress and adjust frequency based on your results.

You may notice:

• Gradual improvement in symptoms

• More restful sleep

• Better mood and energy

Once your main concern improves, maintenance sessions keep you balanced and resilient.
