What happens after my procedure?

Most people can go home shortly after the procedure. You may notice soreness or bruising at the treatment site. Your pain may temporarily increase. It may take up to 3 to 5 days for the pain to improve.

  • If your spine was treated, your arm or leg may feel numb, heavy, or weak for about an hour.

  • Leave the bandage on for 24 hours, then you may remove it and shower.

  • You may drive yourself in 24 hours

  • Do not soak the wound (bath or pool) until it is healed (around 72 hours).
