Community Acupuncture of Orlando firmly believes that simple and frequent treatments yield the best results when using acupuncture as a healing modality. This is the way acupuncture is practiced in China today. We have designed our clinic systems and pricing to help people come as frequently as possible for each person's unique situation. Do what works for you. If you can only come once a week or once every 2 weeks, then that's great. Please do that. You will still see results, just maybe a bit slower. The following is our recommended frequency of treatment:
First Visit: Do I like acupuncture at CAO?
Come check us out. Is acupuncture right for you? Do you like us and how we do things? Are our chairs comfy? Did you fall asleep? Did you have a good experience? Did we help you with your symptoms? You won't know till you give it a try. Oh, and you can bring your friend or co-worker along and both get treated together. At the end of your first visit we will give you a treatment plan that will help with your main complaints.
Visit Two Through Six: Will acupuncture at CAO work for me?
At CAO, we use the next 5 treatments to address your symptoms and to determine if acupuncture is working for you. You should see some shift in your symptoms within these five treatments. These changes might include decrease in pain, change in location or quality, or general improvement in symptoms. For acute to severe conditions, we recommend you get your 5 treatments within 1 to 2 weeks. For moderate to mild conditions, we recommend the 5 treatments within 2 to 3 weeks. For people with chronic conditions, we recommend the same initial 5 treatments within 2 to 3 weeks to help create momentum for change within the body. CAO will give you a written treatment plan at your first visit with our recommendations on it.
Maintenance
We call these treatments "tune ups". Patients come in with no real complaints and just want treatments as a preventative or just to maintain satisfactory health levels. Frequency of treatments at this stage can be from once a week, to once a month, or seasonal as needed. Again, do what works for you.
Special Acute Condition Treatments
Sometimes patients will develop or have acute conditions. Often these patients will come in daily or multiple times a week until the condition is back under control. The sooner you can get in the better. A good example of this is acute migraines or acute back pain. These situations are evaluated on an individual basis.
