Q I work rotating shifts and can't come in often. Realistically, how many visits do I need?
A You don't need to come every day. Treatment typically involves acupuncture 1–2 times per week plus daily herbal medicine, and even those with irregular schedules can continue treatment without disrupting daily life.
Detailed Answer
The treatment schedule is tailored to symptom severity and lifestyle. Usually you come in 1–2 times per week for acupuncture, and at home you take the prescribed herbal medicine consistently, so even those who find it hard to make time due to rotating shifts will have a manageable burden. If you share your shift schedule, we can coordinate appointment times together.
Korean Medicine Perspective
Consistency matters more than the number of visits. Even with an irregular schedule, we design a realistic treatment plan that accounts for your situation.
