Can more than one condition be treated in an acupuncture session?
Often times there's one root cause to many health conditions according to TCM. It depends on the acupuncturist if they want to treat the manifestations first, or if they want to treat both the root cause and the manifestations. It is important to let your acupuncturist know your health history and concerns and answer all the questions the acupuncturist may have. From there they can determine what needs to be done. READ MORE
