The amount of visits and treatments required by a patient in order to alleviate their back pain, neck and spine is contingent upon how long they've been suffering from the condition as well as its severity.

A study published in 2013 by the journal Spine discovered that those who saw chiropractic practitioners were more likely undergo back surgery. Researchers looked into 1885 injured workers who were with back problems in Washington state. They discovered that the medical professional the patient first visited affected the chances of having surgery. Patients who saw a doctor for back pain were more likely undergo surgery than those who went to a chiropractor. Nearly 43 percent of medical patients underwent surgery, while it was only 1.5 percent from chiropractic clients. This means that chiropractic patients had a 28-fold higher chance undergo surgery.
