Nick, that is a very personal question. It depends on the problem, the length of time you’ve had the problem, and your age. I would not be able to give you a definitive answer without a consultation to know what we’re dealing with. Thank you for your question.
We pride ourselves on the fact that we give the best answers to every question asked of us by our patients, but with this question, which is one of the more common questions asked of us, there is no single answer. Every person is different from the next. With as many years as we have been doing this and with the thousands of patients we have seen, we have heard everything. We know it takes a minimum of 4 to 8 weeks to provide enough hydration to make a change, and sometimes up to 16 weeks. However with that said, each person perceives their pain differently. We have seen patients that said within the first visit they were out of pain, and we have seen patients that on the 6th week, it was like someone had thrown a switch and their pain went away. There is no rule that states the exact moment that will occur and the patient will be feeling much better, however with our very high success rate, most people will reach that level at some point, most earlier than later.
Thanks! Your answer is awaiting moderation.
