The 3 Levels of Successful Acupuncture Care

- Level 2: Correct
Once your symptoms have faded and you are making progress, you will enter Level 2. This is the phase where we correct and rebalance the underlying issues that may have caused your symptoms. Just like when peeling an onion, there are layers of healing. Level 1 addresses the first layer, Level 2 moves deeper to address what is underneath and fix the core issue. Also, old habits are hard to break and without corrective care, the body will fall back into its old imbalances and the issues may return. This Level is crucial for lasting relief and whole-body wellness.
