Do Chiropractic Adjustments Hurt?
It truly depends on the person. Most patients report that the adjustment was comfortable and felt good. Sometimes temporary discomfort can occur either during the adjustment or after. This is becuase an adjustment restores motion to a joint restricted by muscular tension and ligamentous joint adhesions. This can activate a short lived and protective inflammatory response that allows the body the time to heal. If a patient complains of discomfort during the adjustment, they are encouraged to inform the Chiropractor. The Chiropractor can modify their techniques to accommodate for patient comfort. Pain or soreness after the adjustment is likely the result of the inflammatory process. This can be most helped by applying ice to the area. (Apply ice for 20-30 minutes on / 20-30 minutes off and repeat as needed)
