  • How long does acupuncture pain relief last?

    Acupuncture therapy has a cumulative effect so it is possible to feel some relief after a treatment but it usually takes more than a few treatments. It is important to consider the type of injury, the duration of the injury and the pain level. If your condition is only a few days old, and only muscular without any tear, one or two treatments should provide some relief. If your injury is caused by physical activities and if you continue the same pattern after your acupuncture treatment, then the effect of a treatment is going to be minimal. There are a lot of factors affecting the relief duration. Alexandre Hillairet, DAOM. READ MORE

  • What is the success rate of acupuncture?

    Acupuncture and Oriental medicine focus on treating the symptoms and the cause of a condition. Finding the cause is sometimes the most difficult and it might take time to discover it. In clinical practice, I usually say that if a patient has pain, there is a 99% chance of recovery however if the patient has had a surgery for the same condition it drops to 50%. The success rate will also be affected if the patient doesn't follow the protocol discussed with the practitioner. Alexandre Hillairet, DAOM. READ MORE

  • How many sessions of acupuncture do you need for back pain?

    Thank you for your question! Most people like to have some quick results and it is understandable however the body takes time to heal. When we evaluate a patient with back the questions that we ask are: How long have you had the pain? What is the cause of your injury? It can take a few visits, if the injury is minor, to 20-30 visits if the injury is very complex. The final outcome is permanent or partial restoration without altering the anatomy or physiology functions of the human body. Alexandre Hillairet, DAOM. READ MORE
