During the Initial Assessment, your chiropractor will discuss a treatment plan with you based on the best available evidence and their clinical experience. This treatment plan will include the number of visits and frequency of care that is recommended. Based on high-quality research, treatment plans commonly involve 1-3 visits per week for 4-6 weeks, based on severity (amongst other factors).
This care plan can be extended or shortened based on how the patient progresses.Patients may also opt for a plan that involves periodic visits every couple of weeks or months which help to reduce the frequency or severity of future pain.

All the tools and equipment required for the treatment (including a chiropractic table, all cleaning supplies, acupuncture supplies, etc) are brought at the time of the visit.

If you feel that your pet will be a little ‘too excited’, or won’t appreciate Dr. Sam treating their owner, consider keeping them in a different area of your home or choose to have the appointment at a different address.
