How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments required depends on the condition and how long the condition has been present. It is reasonable to consider that the longer the illness has been present, the longer it will take to see treatment results. For some acute conditions, it may take only 2-3 treatments. Some chronic conditions may take one or more courses of treatment, with each course being 10 sessions. Of course, every person is treated as an individual case and all results will invariably differ from person to person."You must be the change you want to see in the world" ~ Mahatma Gandhi
