The number of visits required depends upon the severity of the condition and the area focused on. The average person usually requires 4-6 visits, with some needing more and some needing less. Visits are normally given once a week for 3 weeks and then spaced out based on how the person is responding to the care. This plan is varied on a person by person basis. More than one painful area can be helped during an office visit, and many patients report partial or complete relief of their pain after one or two visits.
