During flare-ups, more frequent treatments (once or twice a week) may be necessary to reduce inflammation and relieve discomfort. Over time, as symptoms improve, treatments can be spaced out. With regular acupuncture, the goal is to reduce the frequency of flare-ups by treating the root causes of IBD, giving you long-term relief and better control over your condition.
