Acupuncture is a comprehensive approach that does not treat a symptom, but the mechanism of the onset of that symptom. Don’t be surprised if your first session lasts between an hour and an hour and a half. The acupuncturist needs to know you well in order to better understand, through his questions, the origin of your disorders and thus better treat them. This will also allow you to know a little more about yourself …
