All patient care given at Epic Chiropractic is based on the need of the patient. Recommendations for the frequency of care are based on the severity and chronicity (duration) of the condition of the patient and their personal response to treatment, not a formula. This is determined by the objective and subjective findings of each patient, at the time of their initial consultation and each follow-up treatment, combined with the practitioner's clinical experience.

It is our goal to get every patient well as quickly as possible. This is achieved by spending adequate time with patients to provide needed care, as well as to identify problem areas in their everyday lives, and to advise them on aspects of a healthier lifestyle to support long-term benefit.

Most of our patients' courses of treatment will fall within these general guidelines:

1. Uncomplicated (no disc or neurological involvement) back or neck pain of short duration: 4 - 12 visits/ 4 - 12 weeks
2. Uncomplicated (no disc or neurological involvement) back or neck pain of chronic duration: 12 -16 visits/ 12 -16 weeks
