Children usually have a stronger immune system than adults, hence a much greater potential to improve. Some children may not be as easy to treat as they may not want to lie down on the treatment table. Even so, very good results can usually be obtained. The younger the child, the greater the potential, but, again, patients of all ages may be treated successfully.
