Individual courses vary. Some patients report changes during the first session, while others develop a response only after several treatments. A first assessment is usually possible after 2–3 sessions.
In many cases 4–6 sessions are recommended. The exact number depends on the condition, its duration and how you respond individually.
Private health insurers and supplementary policies often reimburse the therapy in full or in part. You will receive a transparent overview before treatment begins.
