How Often Should You See A Chiropractor?



Our team gets asked this question all the time in our clinic. Our answer is often the same. Like all other treatments for health, chiropractic needs to be tailored to the individual.


Everyone is unique and we all have different levels of fitness, stress levels, and work demands. We also have differing medical histories.


You might find that you can benefit from bi-weekly sessions of chiropractic depending on your lifestyle. Maybe you only need to have one session per month. Let's take a look at some things to help you understand why regular visits to your chiropractor are important and what frequency to go.


The Benefits Of Visiting A Chiropractor


If you want to see how we at Elmsford Chiropractic have helped our patients, you can check out our chiropractic testimonials here!

Our most popular services include chiropractic adjustments for pain in the neck, back, or joint. Did you know that chiropractic can do more than just provide pain relief? We also help with sleep, weight loss, diabetes, and more!


And we do more than just treat symptoms. Our goal is to identify the root cause. We believe that only by addressing the root cause can we prevent it from happening again.


We believe in teaching our patients healthy habits that they can use at home and throughout their day. This will allow you to extend the chiropractic benefits beyond your regular visits.


The best piece of information your doctor can give you is the self-management techniques that you can use at home. These techniques you will be taught can help you take control of your health and not rely on the services at our clinic.


Do You Need to See a Chiropractor Often?


Chiropractic care requires a personalized approach. Each chiropractic care plan will be customized by our specialists to meet your specific needs. They will create your treatment plan, and recommend how often you should visit a chiropractor after a complete assessment of your health.


To get back on track after an injury or acute onset severe pain, patients may need several treatments over several weeks. If you have minor pains or aches, one to ten visits might be sufficient to help you regain your mobility and strength.


Chiropractic is one of the most popular forms of conservative therapy when it comes to maintaining your health and preventing chronic diseases. It is also one of the most effective!


Regular visits to the chiropractor, even if you don't feel any pain or symptoms, can help prevent the reoccurrences from happening from injuries and conditions that you have.


Listening to your body is the most important thing. You can then see how chiropractic affects you. You can decide together with your doctor how often you want to receive wellness care visits after your initial few visits.


Can You Go Too Often?


It is common for acute conditions to be treated three times per week. However, it is important to understand why you are seeking chiropractic care. You can get treatment every day for up to ten days if you have suffered a serious injury or are in great pain. This is a good recommendation for certain conditions.


A reputable practitioner would not recommend that you continue to receive this treatment for a longer time period unless there is a clear clinical reason.


It doesn't matter what your symptoms are or how often you visit, it is important to feel that the condition has improved.


If you don't feel better after a course, you should look over your treatment plan and discuss it with your doctor.
