A chiropractor can offer treatment for a wide range of pain and mobility issues, particularly neck and back pain. Regular chiropractic treatment is more effective than a single adjustment, so your individual care needs will influence how often you visit. Use the guide below to determine an optimal treatment schedule.

Acute Chiropractic Treatment

If you have severe pain or a major injury, you'll need intensive treatment to begin with. Your chiropractor may recommend as many as three visits per week, initially. As the condition comes under control, your provider will taper your treatment accordingly, down to one visit a week or less.

Chronic Conditions

If you have an ongoing health condition that needs attention but isn't severe, expect to make three or four visits each month. This schedule can be increased if you're experiencing a flare-up of a condition like arthritis. Keep up communication with your chiropractor — don't wait for a regular appointment if you need immediate adjustment.

Basic Chiropractic Maintenance

Many people who aren't injured and don't have chronic conditions still come in for periodic checkups, posture correction, and general help maintaining a healthy spine and joints. If you're in this category, you don't need to see a provider as often as someone with an acute issue. About one visit a month is sufficient.
