In the article, he states:

Surgery consultation should occur if the patient is compliant and still has not reached some relief after about 12 weeks.

Again, that sounds reasonable.
Re: out of town travel, IIRC you do multiple days in a row and multiple hours per day. I don't know if one trip lasting a week or two (plus ongoing self care) would be enough, or you would have to go back. And it could (will?) vary by case.
And don't forget that Neurotalk often collects the worst cases. People here are taking Stoxen's comments about the treatment course and applying them to this group--the TOS Misfits. (Although his Sonny Burke case sounded pretty severe like us.)
The best TOS case I've heard of was an acute one. A guy fell off his motorbike and his first rib got jammed up producing all the usual TOS symptoms. Treatment was one chiro session and it fully resolved the problem. But he didn't have "long term" TOS or any confounding factors like RSI, TMJD, EDS, etc.
Now I'm just rambling...
