Generally, a patient needs at least five treatment bouts in total and they should be timed at least one every week. When a PRP is also a part of the therapy then this therapy should be performed on the procedure day and it should be resumed at least two weeks post PRP.A few patients also report being relieved of pain immediately, however the injured tissues need natural healing which occurs nearly 8 weeks after the treatment. In between the treatments we can get back to regular activities that they can tolerate well.
