How many appointments will I need?
The number of appointments you need will depend on your problem and how you respond to treatment - it may take several sessions before your condition is relieved; we expect to see improvements after 3 sessions. This is supported by the results of a review we undertook during 2004.
Treatment is aimed at providing the best circumstances for encouraging change and speeding up the healing process; this varies from person to person and may take longer where a problem has been present for a long time.
If you are not responding to treatment or your practitioner does not think that further treatment will help with your condition, they will tell you and discuss with you possible alternative treatments.
Once you are in good health again you will want to stay that way. This can be achieved by continuing the lifestyle and postural adaptations and exercises. A regular check-up or maintenance treatment to prevent recurrence and accumulation of problems is advisable. After all, we have our eyes and teeth checked regularly so why not our bodies?.
