What your acupuncture follow-up is for

After the 90-minute first visit — how Kyla Phillips judges whether to continue, change or stop.

Symptoms and what they can mean

You slept, or you did not. The headache shifted, or it did not. Follow-ups exist to observe, not to collect loyalty points.

What we can do in clinic

45–60 minutes. We adjust. If nothing is moving after a fair course, I will say stop. That is ethics, not a failed personality.

Red flags and when to see your GP

New medical symptoms since the first visit — tell me and your GP. Do not assume it is “detox”.
