When it comes to injuries multiple things will happen if you follow the standard flow of things.

The first person you'd see is your general practitioner. They are usually good for if you get a cold or a virus but backs aren't there specialty. Your GP will probably send you to specialist most likely an orthopedic surgeon. After and evaluation they then will send your to get X-rays and MRI's. Then you'll go back to your orthopedic surgeon so he can look at your MRI's and X-rays.

After all of these appointments your orthopedic surgeon will probably then refer you out to a chiropractor and or a physical therapist to ensure you get some treatment to strengthen the muscles before resulting in a surgery if your body doesn't respond to treatment.

If you were counting the amount of appointments before you actually get treatment it was four. Depending on how quickly you can get appointments and organize your schedule it could be a month to two months before you even get treatment. Four appointments over a possible two month timeline by then you might even be feeling better so you're out a couple hundred dollars in copays if you have decent insurance and even more if you don't have insurance.
