With regular weekly to monthly treatments, people experience higher energy levels, deeper sleep, and greater focus and ability to perform at peak levels at work and at play. Sounds too good to be true? Try it.
The frequency of “tune-ups” depends on the over-all health of the individual. If people exercise regularly, eat a balanced and nutritious diet, balance work and play, and have routines for de-stressing, people come in less frequently. If they are going through a particularly stressful time in their life with work, relationships or emotions, or if health problems tend to escalate seasonally (allergies, asthma, colds, holiday stress), people come in more frequently around those times. Listen to your body!
Some patients like to come in regularly for preventive care. Acupuncturists see subtle signs of disease processes and imbalances and can address these issues directly. This prevents the development of more serious health problems that require more time and financial investment to treat. These preventive-care visits are especially important for patients with long-standing, chronic conditions that tend to recur, such as back pain, headaches or allergic problems.
