Treatment procedure
The first appointment:
Usually takes 1.5 hours and includes a detailed anamnesis followed by acupuncture treatment
​
Follow-up treatment:
Lasts 1 hour and includes a short follow up followed by acupuncture treatment
​
Additional information:
Treatments can only include chinese herbal medicine therapy. Treatment times are shortened for this form of therapy alone. In addition, some follow-up treatments can be held via telephone or video call.
Duration of therapy
At the beginning weekly appointments take place. As soon as improvements in the symptoms are archived, the treatment intervals are extended to every 2 weeks and later to every 3-4 weeks
​
The duration and effectiveness of a therapy is therefore individual and is influenced by various factors such as basic constitution, age of the patient and the duration of the complaints.
