As symptoms occur
It's hard to say the exact number of sessions you will need for your headaches. You should see yourself gradually improving after a number of sessions. I suggest you see a good provider to come up with a treatment plan to get rid of it for good.
It depends on your responsiveness to treatment. anywhere form 1-3 times a week until your symptoms subside.
The first month I would recommend coming twice a week for chronic headaches and then going down to once a week/bi weekly as maintenance
It depends on the frequency and duration of your headaches. More often will require more often treatments.
I see my patients twice a week until they no longer have the headaches between treatments. Then I see them once a week, then once every other week, and so on til they are no longer troubled with them.
Twice treatments per week or one treatment per week.
A lot is going to depend on the type of headache and the severity. For more severe, migraine type, headaches I'd probably suggest a couple of treatments per week for 2-3 weeks followed by a step down to once per week for 3-5 weeks and then evaluate where the patient is and decide how to proceed.
If your headaches are less severe, you might be able to start at one treatment per week for several weeks.
