Listed below are a few helpful answers to help with some of the questions you may have: How many appointments will I need? The number of appointments you will need will depend on your individual situation. Chiropractic care has been shown to be highly effective for management of acute pain, and if your aim is only to get rid of the immediate pain, only a couple of adjustments may be necessary.  If however, your condition requires more permanent changes and a focus on spinal health in the longer term then you will need more adjustments. Long term care is usually suited to those who regularly place excessive loads or forces on their spine or who have structural abnormalities. At Walker Family Chiropractic we will design the best care plan for you to reach your desired outcomes. It is always your choice as to how long you choose to undergo chiropractic care with us. What results can I expect? The results that you can expect from your chiropractic care will depend on your individual situation but most people can expect to experience some benefits soon after beginning treatment and for these benefits to continue consolidating as treatment continues.  Some studies have shown that chiropractic care is more effective, economical and longer lasting than other forms of health care for disorders of the spine.
