On your first visit, you’ll need to fill out a  health history form. You’ll review this information with your chiropractor before you’re examined. The chiropractor will do a physical exam and you may also need an ultrasound or x-ray. After your exam and tests, your chiropractor will explain what is wrong, and recommend the treatment that’s best for you.

After the first visit, chiropractic treatments usually cost between $50 and $85 per visit. Most chiropractors charge about $95 - $135 for the first visit depending on the extent of your assessment.

Because chiropractic is non-invasive, the risk of a serious side effect is extremely low. While most people feel a sense of relief, it is possible that following chiropractic manipulations you may experience mild soreness that should go away quickly. Before you have a chiropractic treatment, ask to discuss any concerns you have with your chiropractor. If you have any severe or lasting effects or concerns over when to stop chiropractic treatment, talk to your chiropractor.

Chiropractic is a process, not a single event. The frequency of when to see a chiropractor for treatment options is determined based on each person's individual needs. Some patients feel better after one treatment, but most require a structured treatment plan to resolve their issues.
