Since no two patients are the same, it is not possible to accurately predict the course of treatment before the process begins and Dr. Yanuck starts working with you. Typically, the longer a problem has been present, and the more factors there are reinforcing the illness, the more complex the case will be. Once Dr. Yanuck has worked with a patient in the initial treatment and follow-up, he can give a clearer prognosis.
In general, Dr. Yanuck works to resolve the problem as quickly as possible, and identify ways in which you can help to reinforce the positive effects of treatment. This may include rehabilitating the affected area, as well as recommending specific changes in diet, exercise, and lifestyle. As with the treatment itself, these recommendations are tailored to the specific needs of each patient.
Once the problem has been resolved, Dr. Yanuck recommends that patients return periodically, as they would with the dentist, to maintain optimum function.
