“How often should you see a chiropractor for back pain?”

It really depends on the severity of the issue and your individual health goals. Symptoms treatment meaning just feeling better without much structural correction can usually be attained within 6-12 treatments usually performed at 2-3x/week. Corrective care usually takes more treatment over a longer period of time because the treatment goals are related to spinal and postural alignment. That requires restoring proper joint alignment and motion, eliminating nervous system interference, improving proprioception and balancing muscular tensions. These changes can usually be made in a 3-6 month period depending on severity of faults. I hope you find this info helpful. Take care and be well. Dr. Eric Miller - Orland Park, IL

It all depends on the cause of your pain. Is it due to a sprain/strain? Is it a disc problem? Is it facet syndrome? Is there nerve damage? There are many factors. Once the cause is diagnosed, a treatment plan can be established which varies depending on the cause. Hope this helps. Jay H Schwartz, DC, DIBCN, DIBE

Depends on your goal. If you want to just get out of pain, should be about 8-10 visits, more or less depending on severity. However if you want to transition into prevention (where you want to avoid future instances of back pain or increase strength and stability outside of pain), then there might be more consistency, like 2 times a month for several months, and occasional check ups.
