“How long is back adjustment?”

Once the chiropractor determines the type of adjustment needed it usually takes 1-2 minutes. Jeffery P. Jones, D.C.

Good question. The adjustment itself can be completed in a matter of 5-10 minutes. Prior to the adjustment taking place, your physician or their staff should take a thorough health history, proper examination, and oftentimes imaging to rule out osseous pathology and to better determine what needs to be adjusted. This process can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. In Health, J. Korey Harris, D.C.

Depending on the practitioner, back adjustments are quick and can last as little as a few minutes to a little longer.

Chiropractic adjustments take just a few minutes to perform. However, before adjusting your spine, your chiropractor will take a thorough history of your injury and examine you to determine what needs to be adjusted and the best technique to use for your adjustment. An initial visit can take as long as an hour when a consultation, exam, and x-rays (if necessary) are done.

After the first visit, you can expect adjustments to be brief. Keep in mind that your chiropractor may also use additional therapies like electric muscle stimulation, acupuncture, or trigger point work to help address your problem and this can take some extra time.
