That is a tough question to answer as everybody is different. The goal of chiropractic care is to improve the function of the spine and nervous system. When that happens irritations to the nerves, ligaments and muscles are reduced which help a person feel better and heal better. Some patients will just jump off the table as they feel so must better from the adjustment, while others will require a series of adjustments. The number of adjustments will depend on your condition, the length of time you have had the problem, your age and the degree of spinal changes or damage. The key is to always remember that your care is ALWAYS up to YOU. Dr. Kevin Snelgrove D.C. will give you his best recommendations based on your spinal condition, nervous system function and your health goals.
