How Many Treatments Are Usual?

Obviously the number of treatments vary with different conditions and individuals.  Chronic problems generally require more treatment than acute ones.  Some patients notice an immediate improvment after the first treatment, whereas others may not notice any effect until the seventh or eighth visit.

A small number of patients will experience a worsening of symptoms, as the body's energies are returning to normal.  This is usual and no need for alarm.  It is followed by improvement.  Researchers internationally agree the usual number of visits is between eight and sixteen.  The usual frequency is between two and four times per week.  Patients are encouraged to be patient with the healing process.  If the treatments are recommended and results occur in just five visits, the doctor may elect to discontinue treatments or continue their use to stabalize the condition.
