How you prepare
By Mayo Clinic staffNo special preparation is required before a chiropractic adjustment.
Chiropractic treatment may require a series of visits to your chiropractic care provider. Ask your care provider about the frequency of visits and be prepared to work them into your schedule. It might be a good idea to bring your calendar along or have an idea of when in your schedule you can fit in visits to the chiropractic office.
