Is chiropractic treatment ongoing?
The typical course of treatment is to resolve a particular injury or condition. You will likely have to visit your chiropractor’s office multiple times before resolving your issue. It is a common practice, although not mandatory, to continue maintenance care that is decided by the individual’s specific situation and your chiropractor’s clinical judgment.
Chiropractic care is different from a medical doctor’s course of treatment, which typically involves a predetermined plan that is carried out at home (i.e., taking a course of antibiotics once a day for a couple of weeks).
A chiropractor may provide therapeutic, preventive, or maintenance care within a certain number of visits over a predetermined period of time. If you have questions about how long your treatment will last, do not hesitate to ask your chiropractor for their estimate.
