Chronic pain is very complicated, and treatment usually takes several visits to gain improvement. There is no “magic bullet” for chronic pain. The outcome of any treatment modality is determined by realistic goals, expectations and the patient’s level of compliance to the therapeutic recommendations. Each patient will have a different, individual response to therapy.
Some patients will respond to therapy rapidly while others may not see improvement for months. For this reason, each patient’s treatment is tailored to his or her specific needs. This approach enables all our patients to experience maximum therapeutic benefits.
