How many osteopathy sessions will you need ?
That’s a very good question !! Indeed, many patients report that health centers will usually request you to take 2-3 sessions per week over a 2 month period. During this time, they will have you alternate between chiropractics & physiotherapy treatments. What a total waste of time and money !!
Sports Injuries always depend of your condition & your medical history. At PHHC Osteopathic Center, most of acute conditions can be treated in a single session, if treated quickly after onset of symptoms.
However, chronic pain will probably require a bit more. Anyhow, you can’t have more than one session per month. Your body needs time to adjust to the changes that the osteopath made.
If we cannot help you, we will tell you immediately & you will not be charged.
Furthermore, we will refer you to one of our medical partners that can.
