When done right, the chiropractic adjustment causes little or no pain. Some manual, hands-on adjustments can be uncomfortable because of the angle the doctor needs to put your body in to accomplish the bone movement. Adjustments can also be a little uncomfortable if the bone has been in that position for a long time. However, when using an activator to adjust the patient, while some spots that are adjusted may be tender, there is very little pain, if any.

A. No. Sometimes when a joint has not been functioning fully moving for a long time it may be a bit sore after the first few adjustments as your body begins to free up the area.
