Once that is done, the appropriate treatment for your condition can be prescribed.

Hello,
It is a good question but not a simple answer. Each person is different based on age and the condition you have. Typically to get out of pain it may take 4-12 visits within 2 to 6 weeks. If someone has a more complicated condition such as a herniated disc or severe scoliosis the treatment may take months or longer. The main thing is to get an accurate diagnosis and a treatment plan that has specific goals where you can measure progress. If a chiropractor is doing the same thing over and over without re-exams or a program to show correction, you may want to question their motives. I believe honesty, clear communication, and good ethics is very important.
