  • How quickly does acupuncture work?

    If you are getting acupuncture for pain issues, you might feel the effects within several hours of the treatment. If you get at least 50% pain reduction that lasts 2-3 hours, this is considered a success treatment. For non-pain issues like insomnia, stress, and digestion, it is harder to quantify a change, but you will feel better. Generally, you want to three successive treatments to see how acupuncture works for you. This helps the acupuncturist to get a better sense of how many treatments you need and how often you need to come in. Acupuncture is a therapy and like any therapy, the results of acupuncture are cumulative. READ MORE

  • Can acupuncture help with dermatitis?

    Hello, Thank you for your question. Yes, acupuncture can help reduce symptoms associated with dermatitis and stress factors that make dermatitis worse. READ MORE

  • Does acupuncture get worse before it gets better?

    Hello, Thank you for your question. Generally speaking, when you get acupuncture, there are 3 possible responses: a. Improvement of condition b. Worsening of condition c. No change in condition However, this all depends on what you are getting acupuncture for, how often you get acupuncture, and the style of acupuncture used. For example, let’s say you are getting acupuncture for low back pain. If acupuncture is directly applied to the painful area, sometimes, the pain will flare up for a day or two and then subside. From a patient perspective, you might view this as being worse, but this is part of the normal healing response. Now, on the other hand, if the pain after acupuncture hasn’t subsided after 2-3 days and you have less low back mobility, then acupuncture technique might be the reason for the lack of pain relief. Having said this, I don’t know your medical history, which makes it difficult to give you a clear answer. Aroop Banerji ND, LAc READ MORE
