First of all you need a diagnosis of problem. Then you need proper treatment based on the injury which may or may not include chiropractic treatment.
The amount of sessions depends on your diagnosis by your chiropractor and your specific injury.
Chiropractic, similar to physical therapy and even working out, requires repetitive treatments. The amount of care you need should be decided by your chiropractor.

Every injury should have a thorough evaluation to determine the diagnosis and make the right recommendations for care. Each injury is unique to you!
Hello!

The number of treatments depends on several factors: the type of injury, how long ago the injury occurred, the health status of the patient, and the findings during the initial consultation exam. Treatments can range anywhere from six visits to 24 visits or more. Again, the number and type of treatment depends on all of these factors.

Around 10 visits should be enough to restore proper function to the structures involved. Ongoing home care rehabilitation exercises are what speed healing and prevent future injuries.
Depends on the injury. Most likely, physical therapy modalities will be utilized to facilitate the healing process. Good to find a sports medicine chiropractor.
