How long does a chiropractic treatment session last?

At Prestige Health and Wellness, we understand that our patients often have busy schedules, and we aim to provide effective and efficient care while also ensuring your comfort. The duration of a chiropractic treatment session can vary depending on several factors, including the specific needs and conditions of the patient. On average, a chiropractic treatment session typically lasts between 30-45 minutes.

The initial chiropractic appointment, which includes a thorough assessment, may take a bit longer, typically around 45 minutes to an hour. During this first visit, our chiropractor will conduct a comprehensive evaluation, which includes discussing your medical history, performing physical exams, and possibly taking X-rays if necessary. This thorough assessment helps us understand your condition and create a personalized treatment plan.

Subsequent chiropractic sessions, which involve spinal adjustments and other therapeutic interventions, are typically shorter in duration. The chiropractor will focus on the specific areas of concern and perform adjustments or other manual therapies as needed to address your musculoskeletal issues.

Our goal is to provide you with effective care that meets your individual needs while respecting your time constraints. Your chiropractor will work with you to develop a treatment plan that not only addresses your condition but also fits your schedule.

We offer a range of services, including Chiropractic, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Acupuncture, and Massage Therapy, and while some insurance plans may require a referral for coverage, most do not.
