There's no universal number — it depends on how long you've had symptoms, what's causing the nerve compression, and how your body responds. Many people notice some change within the first few sessions, though chronic sciatica that's been going on for months may take longer to see meaningful improvement. In clinical trials, protocols have typically run 8–12 sessions over 4–6 weeks. At Olo, your acupuncturist will reassess as you go and give you honest feedback about how treatment is progressing.
