The musculosceletal medical practitioner corrects the spinal column with a gentle manipulating movement directly above the vertebra. The medical practitioner will explain the methods they use during the initial consultation. They may sometimes prescribe additional exercises or medication. On the whole a few treatments are required to relieve the symptoms; this won’t happen in a single session.

On average 3 to 4 treatments take place initially. You may experience afterpain for a few days afterwards. After the last treatment a recovery period is undergone. You will be given a check-up after three months, when a few corrections are usually made. In most cases the treatment will then finish.
