Question
Hello i am interested in seeking acupuncture tx for my pms symptoms and frequency of periods (every 3 weeks).  what would be the approx frequency and length of treatment?

Thanks  

Answer
Hi Queen,

It would depends on how long you have had the issue.  If it just started, then you may look at 1 to 2 or so.  But if you have had this for years now, you may look at more visits.  Frequency can range from everyday to twice a week.  This would all depend on what the acupuncturist finds in the examination and his/her acupoints selection.
