Acupuncture may not be effective for seven days. The onset of effect of acupuncture depends mainly on the cause of the disease and the nature of the disease being treated, and cannot be generalized.
1. Acute painful diseases: for acute pain, acupuncture may have an immediate effect, such as arthralgia, after acupuncture, the pain will be relieved immediately, although not cured, but the degree of pain will decline.
2. Chronic diseases: slow to take effect, such as neurological diseases, such as hemiplegia, paraplegia, etc., the effect can not be seen when the number of acupuncture is small, and it often takes 1~2 weeks of treatment to observe the effect. Because damage to the nervous system is not easily repaired, such as Alzheimer’s disease or Parkinson’s disease, it is necessary to give enough time and patience to acupuncture treatment.
In addition, the patient’s physical condition, as well as the severity of the disease, will also affect the onset of acupuncture.
If you experience any discomfort, it is recommended that you go to the hospital in time to be treated by a professional doctor, rather than using acupuncture blindly on your own to avoid causing damage to your body.
