Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) views each person as unique, the number and frequency of treatments may vary. Among the determining factors are the type of condition, whether it is chronic or acute and the general state of health of the individual patient.
A typical treatment protocol for chronic problems or severe pain is 2 treatments a week for 6 to 10 visits. After this, treatments may be gradually reduced to once a week or every two weeks until only monthly maintenance is necessary.
