How Often Should You See a Chiropractor?

One of the most common questions people ask about chiropractic care is, “How often should I get adjusted?” The answer depends on several factors, including your health goals, the severity of your condition, and your chiropractor’s recommendations.

Chiropractic Care Frequency: What to Expect

Chiropractic care isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Your adjustment schedule will depend on:

  1. Acute Pain or Injury – If you're dealing with sudden pain, frequent adjustments (2-3 times per week) may be needed initially.

  2. Chronic Conditions – Long-term issues, like poor posture or sciatica, often require consistent care over several weeks or months.

  3. Preventative & Wellness Care – Many people see their chiropractor once a month or every few weeks to maintain spinal health and prevent future issues.

Why Regular Adjustments Matter

Regular chiropractic care:

  • Helps prevent spinal misalignments

  • Reduces tension and inflammation

  • Supports proper posture and mobility

  • Keeps the nervous system functioning optimally

If you're unsure about how often you should get adjusted, talk to your chiropractor about a personalized care plan based on your needs and lifestyle.
