The human body is a very complex system with many sub-systems. A chiropractic adjustment realigns the joints, especially those in the spine, lower back and neck areas. The question is, “How long does chiropractic treatment take?” The answers below will give you an idea as to what to expect when looking for chiropractic services.

  1. The initial examination and consultation could last from one to two hours. The follow-up chiropractic sessions consisting of a spinal adjustment and counseling (exercises, nutrition, or etc.) could last from 15 to 30 minutes.
  2. A common chiropractic program is 3 times per week for the first 2 to 4 weeks, followed by a re-evaluation. The frequency of visits to the chiropractor should decrease as the patient's pain and function improve. 
  3. Complex cases may take a longer session, but a chiropractic session, in general, can be expected to take about 15 to 30 minutes.

Here are 3 Questions to Ask About the Chiropractic Services Offered by Mckim Chiropractic Clinic:

  • What is a typical treatment program of chiropractic care?
  • What chiropractic services are offered at the clinic, such as massage, exercise instruction, rehabilitation and strength training, and nutritional counseling?
  • What if the treatment program doesn't seem to help? A good chiropractor may recommend another type of treatment, including massage, exercises, rehabilitation, and nutrition.

In extreme cases, the chiropractor may recommend the patient to a more specialized practitioner, particularly if the need for medication or surgery is indicated.

Chiropractors are committed to helping their patients feel better as fast as possible with as few chiropractic treatments as necessary, ultimately reducing care to an as-needed follow-up plan.
