Good question. Typically it depends on the patient, the mechanism of injury along with the severity of the issue. Some patients require more than others. When the body is seeing and embracing the realignment to which the adjustment does, along with the muscular retraining which is extremely important for the amount of in-office visits.

Great question. A Chiropractic Doctor will utilize diagnostic skills to single out through orthopedic testing where the specific lesion lies within the back that is causing the patient discomfort. Once the Doctor has narrowed down the possible tissues where the lesion may lie, diagnostic orthopedic testing will begin to enable us to recreate the patient's chief complaint. Once all these steps have been done, if an adjustment is warranted, the Doctor will then put to work the skills that were taught to us in our adjusting labs for the 6 trimesters of school. These take into consideration any special that the Doctor may utilize to safely and effectively treat the patient's chief complaint.

I'd recommend going to a professional who is trained in how to properly address the issue that you are asking about. When we "pop" our neck/back more often than not we are taking what is a problem on one side of the spine and although you gain relief, you have just introduced a future problem on the opposite of the spine that will need to be "popped" later. This is why we use specific techniques in our field. Hope that answers your question!
