Acupuncture treatments can sometimes be quick. For example, sometimes people cannot have anesthetic when having a tooth pulled but they can use acupuncture. Usually though, treatment is like physical therapy in that you'll have a series of treatments. Different practitioners may set up a longer treatment plan depending on your condition. A lot of times we hear that a single treatment cures things or that miracles happen, but that's not typical. For a severe condition, treatment could be daily or every other day, lasting from one to 12 weeks. The patient should feel gradual improvement.
