The duration of the effects of acupuncture vary depending on factors like the individual's condition being treated, their response to acupuncture, and the frequency of sessions. Generally, immediate effects like relaxation and pain relief can be felt during or shortly after a session. These effects last anywhere from a few hours to a few days.



For chronic conditions or ongoing health concerns, a series of acupuncture sessions might be recommended to achieve longer-lasting results. The cumulative effects of multiple sessions can often lead to more sustained relief, with the benefits gradually lasting longer between sessions as the body responds to treatment.
