FAQs: How Long Does It Take to Get Someone Well?

I’m often asked by patients and other practitioners: “How many treatments does it usually take to get someone well?”

Here’s a real-time case study from just last week that I think is an amazing result.

This patient has a history of back surgery and recently undergone 16 Tung style Acupuncture sessions elsewhere (using around 30 needles with electrotherapy each time) with no improvement. She was referred to me by her doctor.
After a One-Needle Branches Treatment with sweepers in the Advanced Neoclassical Acupuncture (NCA) style, plus a short Gestalt reframe, she walked away 85% better in just 25 minutes. Two follow-up sessions, spaced 2–3 days apart, confirmed the result: by the third treatment she was completely pain-free — after years of ongoing pain.

These kinds of outcomes are not unusual after almost four years of dedicated practice in NCA.

What I’ve Learned

I focus on treating the NCA pattern, not just chasing symptoms.

About 10% of patients don’t respond — and if there’s no improvement after 5 treatments, I’ll refer them on to another modality.

Around 10% get better after just one treatment.

For most patients, seeing them twice a week for two weeks has made a huge difference in outcomes.

Final Thought

While not every case resolves this quickly, Neoclassical Acupuncture continues to surprise me with the depth and speed of healing it can unlock when we work with the body’s blueprint rather than just the surface symptoms.

If you’ve been living with pain that won’t shift, there is another way forward. 💚
