Chronic Pain- What frequency of visits is recommended?

Pain can be prolonged, long-lasting, varying in intensity, and really interrupt the everyday joys of living


What the research says on how many visits to the chiropractor !
What the research says on how many visits to the chiropractor !


The research looked into the frequency of chiropractic sessions over a 3 month period


Some research found the average monthly visit was 2.3 visits per month, which is really what we see in our clinic.


Most people after their initial care come in regularly for fortnightly visits to manage their chronic condition with the occasional top-up session when we do noneveryday activities like an intense gardening session etc


Chronic Neck pain and Chronic Low Back Pain have a combined prevalence of between 10 to 20% of the adult population


Pain in these areas is associated with substantial co-mobility - with chronic spinal pain being so long-lasting with average pain from years to decades.
