Thank you for your inquiry! At the beginning of the therapy, we usually recommend to our patients attending therapy twice a week for a month and then we can reassess. It is evident that if a patient has improved after two weeks, then we are reducing the frequency. Based on your condition, it might be recommended to see your practitioner twice a week to observe some improvement. Once a week might not be enough for your body to respond to the therapy, yet. And regarding the cost, this is something that you should discuss with your practitioner and maybe he/she can help you and you might be able to find a compromise.

For a first-time acupuncture patient, I always say to communicate if there is any discomfort with the needles. Sometimes, based on people's sensitivity, it is possible to feel a little prick that goes away quickly after insertion. If the pain remains then it is imperative to remove the needle and reinsert again. It doesn't happen very often, but it is important to be clear. If all the needles are painful, it is possible that the practitioner doesn't have good technical skills, so it is not recommended to continue your therapy there. Again, if there is any pain that is persisting during the therapy from the needle, tell the practitioner to remove the needle immediately.
