OK DOCTOR, I CAME IN FOR MY FIRST ADJUSTMENT AND NOW IT HURTS MORE AND EVEN NEW PLACES ARE PAINFUL. WHAT’S GOING ON?
This is normal. After your first visit to the chiropractor, you MAY experience a temporary worsening of symptoms for a few days, called a healing crisis. It is very common. Chiropractic treatment, massage, adjustments and lifestyle changes can activate pre-existing chronic problems and pain in the body, which is often masked and hidden from your awareness. Chiropractic treatment removes nervous system interference, wakes up unconscious pain centers and allows your body to communicate with your brain.
