How Often Do I Need Chiropractic Treatment?

New patients may initially be scheduled two to three times per week. The frequency of treatment is reduced when the patient's condition improves and stabilizes. People with difficult or chronic cases should commit to a minimum of four to six weeks of treatment before conluding whether or not it is beneficial to their particular case. Milder cases often respond in less time.
