A recent article in The Seattle Times recounts how acupuncture helped a young hockey player get back on the ice after an injury left him with debilitating headaches and his doctors could not keep him symptom-free. He is now on a twice a week acupuncture schedule and has not had a recurrence.

This point is important. Many people in the west are trained to think that weekly appointments are standard. In fact, best practices often call for multiple visits a week, at least for the first phase of treatment. Following these guidelines offer the best chance swiftly at relieving symptoms with no recurrence.

Best Practices Often Call for Multiple Visits per Week

With community acupuncture this type of care is possible for a many more people. Instead of paying hundreds of dollars per week, patients in need of intensive treatment can get it for a fraction of the cost. Powerful stuff. And Olo is proud to part of the movement towards affordable healthcare.
