It is normal for movement to begin slowly returning after about two months and to be fully restored at three to four months.

  • If the dose and placement of the treatment were light or insufficient, movement will return more quickly than if the treatment was adequately administered.

  • It is beneficial to provide feedback to your provider after the first visit, as this can help them adjust the dose and placement as necessary if some areas felt too heavy or deteriorated faster than others.

  • When considering the results, it is important to keep in mind that each provider has a different assessment dose and placement, which can lead to varying outcomes.
