While immediate relief is not always possible with acupuncture, most people should have results fairly quickly. What I tell patients is to come three times and if there is no change/improvement (not necessary 100% correction) then try someone else. In the case of treating pain, cupping can be a game-changer. However, it is also important to address the underlying so-called “imbalance” to correct and prevent the patient from gradually sliding back to the same imbalance that led to the painful symptoms, to begin with. But if you have not had any relief after 5 to 7 acupuncture sessions or any improvement at all, I would suggest you try another Licensed Acupuncturist.

It depends on the practitioner. As a follower of Dr. Richard Tan’s Balance Method, I tend not to put needles in the back; I will generally place needles in the elbows, knees, ankles, and wrists for back pain. I usually will do cupping initially, which I find very effective for back pain. At 75, generally a person will have more constitutional health issues, so you’d also want to strengthen the underlying imbalance based on TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) parameters.

Hi there,

Acupuncture is generally very helpful at any stage of pregnancy. For example, it can help some of the conditions related to pregnancy as: nausea, tight muscles/sciatica or for better sleep, edema or even a restless baby. Acupuncture can help give a pregnant mother more energy, better sleep and is generally a good “tonic” for the future mother’s overall well-being. Additionally, acupuncture can help breech positions, varicose veins and help prepare the mother’s body for delivery, as well as, help with lactation and postpartum emotional issues.
Hope this answer helps addresses your questions and congratulations!
