Improvements in your vision may take time and it is essential to maintain your recovered vision.

How will my treatment plan be developed?
Your first visit will be a 15 minute consultation to discuss your eye concerns and the treatment protocol. From here, the protocol would start with various eye tests to see where your vision is at and get a better understanding of what your vision is presently.
How long can I expect to receive acupuncture?
Here is an example of a typical eye treatment protocol for Macular degeneration:
-
2 treatments per day with a break in between.
-
Needles would be inserted in the hands and feet. No needles will go in the eyes.
-
Treatments will be from Monday to Friday for 2 weeks.
To maintain the positive results of you acupuncture treatment , we usually recommend acupuncture once a week, although some people are able to spread that to once per month. In certain cases, in the first year, we may recommend a follow up intensive 2 week treatment several months later. These recommendations will vary based on the stage of the initial problem.
Can I Use Acupuncture as an Alternative to Other Treatments?
Yes! A whole body holistic approach is key to your health and wellness.
Acupuncture can also support and compliment conventional and alternative treatments you are exploring. Acupuncture focuses on overall wellness and reducing stress. The positive results you experience from acupuncture treatments will carry through to positive whole body health. The reduction of pain for many can reduce the need for pain and other medications, reducing side effects from these conventional treatments.
