How many sessions will you need

The number of sessions needed varies considerably depending on:

Your age: you general heal more slowly as you get older.

The nature of the problem: a simple backache will often clear more quickly than a sciatic problem.

How long you have had the problem: generally, yesterdays injury wil resolve faster than one of 20 years' standing.

Most patients need between 2 and 10 sessions, initially at weekly intervals then gradually more widely spaced out, by which time a noticeable change should have occurred, though treatment can continue for longer. Once the acute problem has been resolved, regular check-ups are recommended to keep your spine and other joints functioning well.
