Your starting plan
6–10 visits • 1–2 visits/week. This is a preliminary care plan, not an average time to heal or a guaranteed result.
What to expect
Possible goals: less pain with sitting or lifting; easier everyday movement.
After treatment
Stay gently active. Try short walks and approved mobility; avoid prolonged bed rest.
How we track progress
Pain (0–10), daily activity and flare frequency.
After 2–4 treatments
We will review your response and daily function, then refine your timeline, visit frequency and next steps.
When to seek medical care
New leg weakness, numbness around the groin or changes in bladder/bowel control require urgent assessment.
Acupuncture is supportive care. It does not replace medical diagnosis, necessary treatment or emergency services.
