How many sessions should a chiropractor do?

The number of sessions will vary depending on your condition and how the treatment progresses. However, the chiropractor should be able to provide an indication of the number of treatments you may need. Most patients see improvements in their condition after a few treatment sessions.

What is chiropractic treatment & how does it work?

Chiropractic treatment is an alternative medicine used to provide pain relief for those areas that constantly feel stiff and immobile. Unlike physical therapy, chiropractors use a hands-on approach to care.

What happens at a first visit to a chiropractor?

The initial visit to a chiropractor will involve assessing your condition and coming up with a treatment plan. You can expect for the chiropractor to ask about your medical history, current symptoms, and what you want to get out of chiropractic care.

Do chiropractors recommend a long-term treatment plan?

Your chiropractor may recommend a longer-term treatment plan if you have complex problems or you keep getting back pain because of your job. Your chiropractor should also discuss any potential side-effects and risks of treatment with you. If you’re unsure about anything, don’t be afraid to ask.

What happens at a first appointment with a chiropractor?

During your first appointment, your chiropractor will ask you a number of questions regarding your condition, symptoms, medical history and your general lifestyle. Your chiropractor will then determine what the problem is, assess your symptoms, and decide if they feel that chiropractic treatment is appropriate.

Can I book a private appointment with a chiropractor?

You can arrange treatment with a chiropractor yourself and book a private appointment. Chiropractic is rarely available on the NHS, but if chiropractic is available in your area, a GP may refer you. For more information, see our section below: Find a chiropractor in your area.
