When you visit a medical doctor, you’re usually examined, diagnosed and put on a plan (such as medications) for you to self-administer at home. Chiropractic care is different in that it requires you to receive treatment at the clinic. It may take a number of visits for a chiropractor to treat acute, chronic or preventive care. On your first visit, we will tell you what treatment we recommend, and how long you can expect it to last.
