How often will I need treatment?
Treatment frequency varies widely depending on your specific condition and health goals. For acute conditions, we may recommend multiple visits per week initially. As you improve, visits typically decrease in frequency. Some patients choose to maintain their spinal health with periodic maintenance visits, while others seek care only when needed. We’ll create a personalized treatment plan based on your individual needs and response to care.
