How Long Will It Take to Correct My Problem? Many patients have been dealing with episodes of neck pain for some time before they ever see a chiropractor. The majority of chiropractors and physical therapy clinics generally want to see you several times a week for months on end. At Seppo Chiropractic we have a very high success rate in typically 12 visits or less in total. With our integrated approach beyond typical chiropractic adjustments, we are able to find the root cause quickly and implement a plan to effectively fix the issues at hand. While surgery has a time and place, it should always be considered as a last resort and all conservative care must be exhausted beforehand. While we commonly work alongside referral from surgeons, the work of MDT (Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy) is extremely powerful in the Orthopedic world and plays a large role in delegating cases as surgical or not (typically in 3-4 visits), ultimately reducing time and money spent when it may not be necessary. All the while a lot of patients who have been told by surgeons that they need surgery, fully reduce with the proper mechanical care and therapy.
