ChiropracticHow Will I Feel After a Treatment?
After the adjustments, sometimes immediate relief is felt. More often, noticeable relief is felt over a 24 hour period. If a condition has been chronic for an extended period of time, it may take several treatments to notice a difference in either mobility and/or pain.
Common effects reported are mild pain or discomfort at the site of adjustments, localized muscle stiffness, slight headache, and tiredness. Most of these discomforts are mild and subside within 24 hours.
A 20 minute walk following a treatment is recommended to assist the muscles in adjusting to the new realignment. This lessens the probability that the “muscle memory” will try and revert the bones back to the positions before treatment.
Sometimes, discomfort is experienced while stiff, “rusty” joints regain movement and immobile ligaments are stretched, causing minor inflammation. Chiropractors may recommend home-care including icing to the inflamed areas.
