My first acupuncture experience

Great to hear you had a positive first experience, David! For tension headaches, most of my patients notice significant improvement within 4-6 sessions. Consistency is key — try to keep weekly appointments for the first month. The cumulative effect is where the real magic happens.

I was so scared of the needles before my first session! Now I actually look forward to it. It's become my weekly reset. For me it took about 3 sessions to feel a real difference with my back pain.

I had a similar experience! The pulse and tongue diagnosis felt very different from what I was used to. It's like they see your body as a whole system, not separate parts. Glad it's working for you.
