It depends on the chiropractor. When I started seeing mine, he set up a plan that had me out in a year, with more frequent visits in the first part, and only one visit a month for the final nine months. I figured, what the hell, I can't expect to be "cured" after one visit.
I had horrible pain in my neck and shoulder, which started years ago as a once or twice a month thing, which started to move up to an every day occurance. Now, four months into my chiropractic therapy, I feel the pain closer to my once a month visit, but between my visits I am pain free. He says that when I am done, I should very seldom see it.
I think that it is a very legitimate practice. It isn't an exact science, like internal medicine, so of course there will be times when it does not help, but I think that overall chiropractors are good people with bad reps.
