My professional background as an experienced physician enables and helps me depending on the situation to put things in right perspective.
Some conditions like acut neckpain may require only 1 acupuncture session. Longer existing problems like prolonged tenniselbow, 3 times acupuncture may solve the problem. Chronic diseases like migraine needs mostly several sessions, even ongoing acupuncture combined with medication by need. Then there are situations, where instead of acupuncture/ chinese medicine treatment I simply recommend western medication right away.
