1) How many treatments do I need?
A good rule of thumb is if you feel 25% improvement after one treatment then four visits will be required. A 50% improvement after the first visit then you will probably require two or three treatments. In the unusual event, you only feel a 10% improvement after one office visit then ten treatments will be required.

2) How does acupuncture treat common colds?
Most of the acupuncture points for colds are on the upper body. When a needle is inserted into the body, your immune system is redirected to the needle. Since most colds are acquired by touching your nose, eyes, mouth, and ears. Directing your immune system toward the colds entry point helps your body defend and defeat the virus or bacteria. Now this is a very simplistic explanation but it can server as a starting point for your understanding of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
3) How can you fix a persons elbow problem when they had the problem for ten years?
One of the ways acupuncture works, is to start a sequence of events that occurs naturally when the body is injured. When an injury occurs, a patient usually experiences PAIN, REDNESS, SWELLING, and STIFFNESS at the location of the injury. This is how your body keeps you from moving around when it is attempting to fix an injury. Remember you are a self-healing organism and that is the power behind the miracle of life and how acupuncture works to resolve neuromuscular injuries.

4) What is the difference between a Licensed Acupuncturist and a Medical Acupuncturist?
Now sometimes the body does not have the time or resources available to completely heal an injury. The acupuncturists will then trigger the natural sequence events defined above, by inserting a needle into the effected area of the body, and then the healing sequence defined above starts again with each treatment.
A licensed acupuncturist is a highly trained health care provider. Licensed acupuncturists must attend an accredited college to ensure your safety and the best possible outcome for your treatment. Our office only employees licensed acupuncturists. Typical training for licensed acupuncturists varies but ranges from 3,000-5,000 hours of clinical and class room training.
A medical acupuncturist is a health care provider who lobbied to bypass the national requirements for the practice of acupuncture. For your safety and the safety of your family we do not employee medical acupuncturists. The typical training for medical acupuncturists is 100-300 hours of class room study.
