AnswerWellness programs are a good idea, if done prudently. I will typically see someone once a month; however, once every 2 month or 3 months is not unusual. It all depends on the patient and their ability to hold an adjustment. As far as it going back to where you were in April, it could, it could go worse, or the pain you had could never return again. But, if a proper rehab. program is and was implemented, your chances of fighting back and resisting re-subluxating are much better.
