Some get along fine with one treatment and others need more treatments. I had my horse done last fall because he was having some flexing issues and a sore back. I noticed a great improvement in him within a week of his first treatment. When I see any of his signs return, I will have him done again.

I had a mare fall at the 3rd barrel in August and had a lot of issues to deal with. She got 8 weeks off then we ended up having to inject her whorl bone and she got acupuncture done at 2 week intervals for 6 weeks, then every 4 weeks, then back to 8.
