How long does the treatment last?

     The length of the treatment period varies from patient to patient.  Some patients are released from care after only a week or two of care while others might require treatment for as much as a few months.  This variability is due to the variability of patient's unique conditions:  their age, gender, weight, height, physical fitness level, medical history, and in some instances the severity of the accident. 
     Patients are always wanting to know how long they will be treating.  I can make a reasonable estimate based upon the above conditions, but really, it will be determined by how quickly they respond to care.  All treatment is based upon medical necessity.  As long as your doctor believes that you can benefit from the treatments provided, he/she will recommend it to the patient. 
     When a patient reaches a point where there is no longer medical necessity for care, the patient most likely will be released from care.  At that point, your doctor of chiropractic at Accident and Injury will promptly send all of your records to the appropriate person or persons, be it an attorney or an insurance company.
