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:
Acute Pain or Injury – If you're dealing with sudden pain, frequent adjustments (2-3 times per week) may be needed initially.
Chronic Conditions – Long-term issues, like poor posture or sciatica, often require consistent care over several weeks or months.
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.
