I have ankle pain and want to treat it. How often should you see a chiropractor for ankle pain?

Chiropractic care can be very helpful, but you need to know what condition is being treated. Ankle stiffness following surgery and a minor injury can be helped with manipulation. Ankle pain can come from instability, tendinitis, or arthritis. These conditions require further workup before any form of therapy as it may make the condition worse.
Or the next choice.
I would consider a consultation with a Podiatrist or Orthopedic Surgeon or ER
You should NOT see a chiropractor as a first-line defense/evaluation for foot or ankle pain.
Chiropractors normally do not treat ankle pain. I recommend you make an appointment with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for diagnosis and treatment options.
Chiropractor treatment schedules are not in the scope of my practice. Please consult with a chiropractor.
It depends on the injury or cause of the pain. Root cause determines how treatment is rendered.
