Question
Does acupuncture ALWAYS work for people? Or, does it sometimes NOT work? How long does it take to notice relief from a chronic pain condition?
Hello Kristy,
Almost everyone does notice a positive effect with acupuncture treatment. Some patients will not follow through with the treatment plan and do not see the desired results. A exam must be done to determine a treatment plan, some people notice relief in one or two treatments. With chronic conditions more treatments are likely.
Have a great day,
Dr. Brendon O'Brien D.C.
