It depends: Patients may need only one treatment for multiple acute problems. Some chronic conditions may need more treatments. Patient should feel better after each treatment.For lasting results I do combine acupuncture with other modalities .I also advise changes in eating habits, exercise, posture, rest patterns, bowel habits, .... Gentle changes in the lifestyle can add to yielding lasting result results.

It will vary: Effects may be short term or longer lasting. For persistent problems, i would recommend at least 6 sessions to determine of this will help your problem.
