How effective chiropractic care is or how long the effects last depend on a multitude of factors. Some patients experience relief after one session. However, those with more severe conditions will likely benefit from a consistent schedule of sessions. You will work with your chiropractor to determine the treatment plan that best addresses your condition. In general, patients seeking care for acute pain will be seen three times a week for two weeks. It typically takes between three to six visits to start seeing lasting change. Your chiropractor will re-evaluate your treatment plan after your tenth visit.
