The number of acupuncture sessions needed varies depending on the individual and the condition being treated. Acute issues may respond well to just a few sessions, while chronic conditions might require a more extended treatment plan. Typically, patients start with weekly sessions and may gradually reduce the frequency as their symptoms improve. During your initial consultation at Boost Physiotherapy, our acupuncturist will assess your specific needs and develop a personalized treatment plan, providing an estimate of the number of sessions you might need to achieve the best results.

Most people find acupuncture to be a relaxing and comfortable experience. The needles used in acupuncture are very thin, much finer than those used for injections or blood draws. You may feel a slight pinch or a tingling sensation when the needles are inserted, but this typically subsides quickly. Some patients report feeling a sense of heaviness or warmth around the needle insertion points, which is a normal response. Our skilled acupuncturists at Boost Physiotherapy ensure a gentle and precise technique to maximize comfort and minimize any discomfort during the treatment.
