Q: Do you have to have to keep going forever? A: No! The amount of treatment you choose to participate in is always your choice. Many patients choose to participate in only relief care for their condition and this typically takes one 1 to 3 weeks. Many others choose to continue care past relief care in order to correct an underling spinal condition. Just as people choose to have periodic health checks at their medical doctor and dentist, many patients choose to participate in care once their condition is corrected as a wellness care or maintenance care program.
