How many visits will I need?
There are three stages of chiropractic care.

This is usually where most patients begin there chiropractic care. Visits can be frequent, depending on the severity of your condition. The primary focus is to reduce or eliminate your most obvious symptoms.
Corrective Care

Wellness or Elective Care
With the maximum restoration of spinal function, many patients enjoy regular chiropractic check-ups. This type of preventative or wellness care can save time and money by keeping minor problems from becoming more serious.
