This can usually be achieved between 1-2 months. 2- Corrective Care – Chiropractic treatment that aims to correct a patient’s spinal problems to a level of stability that will greatly reduce the risk of reoccurrence if followed by maintenance care and proper home care. The duration of time usually requires 2-4 months. 3- Maintenance or Wellness Care – This chiropractic care comes after relief and correction and aims at keeping the spine at its optimal condition with regular adjustment at intervals ranging from bi-weekly, monthly, or more. 4- Physiotherapy – Machines that assist in pain and muscle tension reduction. Commonly used modalities are electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound, intersegmental traction tables, ice, and heat.
