Hey Everyone,
One of the most common questions we hear at Foothills Chiropractic is:
“How many times should I get adjusted?”
The honest answer? It depends. But we like to keep things simple.
Our number one goal is always to get you out of pain as quickly as possible. How we do that can vary depending on what’s going on.
For an acute injury (something that just flared up or happened recently), we typically recommend 2 visits per week until you’re about 80% better. Once you’re feeling significantly improved, we begin spacing visits out until the pain is gone.
Sometimes the issue is minor and one adjustment takes care of it. We love those cases. We’re always happy to help with a “one and done” when that’s all you need.
Chronic conditions are a little different. If something has been there for months (or years), it usually takes a bit more consistency. The good news is we’ll work with you to find a plan that fits your condition, your schedule, and your goals.
And what about coming in when you feel pretty good and want to keep it that way? For most people, once a month is enough to maintain good mobility, alignment, and prevent small problems from becoming bigger ones.
At the end of the day, our job isn’t to sell you visits.
It’s to help you feel better — and stay that way.
Have a great weekend!
Your Foothills Chiropractic Team
