How long does the therapy take? The duration of the therapy is as individual as any suffering and condition is individual. Besides, the success of a therapy and, therefore, its duration depends on the patient's actual living situation and the duration, that is, the history of the condition. Assuming you have had a problem with your spinal column for the last couple of days that was caused by an inappropriate movement, experience shows that this can be solved quickly. A condition that has become chronic, on the other hand, calls for a longer therapy. It is important to know that the body's health condition is restored in cycles. The therapy often makes the patient feel better quickly. In many cases the patient then takes the disappearance of the symptoms to mean complete and full recovery. This is not the case, however, because symptoms often disappear before their cause has been fully eliminated. The patient may even suffer a relapse before the spinal column has stabilised again in its natural position. Full recovery takes its time and the therapy cannot be terminated until the cause is eliminated and the patient is free of pain. The duration of the therapy is completely individual and under no circumstances should it be suspended or ended prematurely. What happens if the treatment is discontinued prematurely? In the therapy slight pressure is exerted by hand on the affected parts. An initial reaction to this may be an irritation, for instance if the tissue is inflamed. If the treatment is suspended in this condition the pain may indeed become worse. Freedom from pain and recovery Freedom from pain does not necessarily mean complete recovery. It is certainly possible that freedom from pain is achieved before the natural positioning of the spinal column has been re-established. Discontinuation of the treatment The goal is to allow the musculature to re-establish its original “healthy” positioning through continuous basic treatment over a longer period of time. Discontinuing the treatment prematurely and without consultation can lead to a worsening of the condition of pain. |
