You can be adjusted too much.
Being adjusted too much by a chiropractor can cause over manipulation syndrome which can cause muscle spasms and chronic pain.
The signs that you've had too many adjustments from the chiropractor include.
Unwanted side effects like nausea, weakness and numbness.
Pain that escalates.
Difficulty in relieving pain after the chiropractic treatment.
Uneased pain after each chiropractor treatment session.
And insufficient healing between chiropractic treatment sessions.
If you have any of the above problems after chiropractor treatments or you suspect you've had too many chiropractor adjustments you should tell your doctor or chiropractor.
Chiropractors know where to crack by performing physical exams, discussing patient history, feeling misalignments with their hands, tests for range of motion and sometimes X rays to identify any specific areas of your spine which need adjustment based on your individual needs and symptoms.
This then allows the chiropractor to target precise vertebrae which require manipulation to restore the proper alignment and relieve any pain.
What actually happens when a chiropractic adjustment is done is the chiropractor uses their hands or sometimes specialized tools to apply force that is controlled to a joint which is often in the spine.
The controlled force applied to a joint helps improve the joint's alignment and also range of motion.
The chiropractor will first assess the condition you have and determine which joint or joints need adjustment.
Then the chiropractor will position you on a special table with you often lying face down to allow for proper access to the affected area or areas.
Then the chiropractor will apply a quick and controlled force to the joint using a tool like an activator or their hands.
The force then moves your joint beyond it's usual range of motion and creates a cracking or popping sound which is heard during the adjustment.
The popping sound is caused by the release of gases such as nitrogen that are trapped within your joint capsule and the release allows your joints to move more freely and also reduces pressure on your surrounding tissue and nerves.
Restoring the proper alignment increases the range of motion and the adjustment from the chiropractor helps to reduce any pain, restore the body's natural ability to heal and improves flexibility.
The signs that the chiropractic adjustments are working are you have improved flexibility, better sleep and reduced pain.
Other signs that the chiropractor is working for you is that you have more energy, require less pain medication and feel more relaxed and have improved posture and have a greater range of motion.
When you feel weird after a chiropractic adjustment it's because of the body adapting to the new spinal alignment which can cause mild headaches, general feeling of disorientation, fatigue and dizziness which is also a result of the toxin release.
The toxin release is when the body is processing the released tension from the area that is adjustment.
Feeling somewhat weird after a chiropractic adjustment is normal although if the feeling weird is severe or is persistent you should let your chiropractor know.
And be sure to stay hydrated and drink enough water to flush out toxins and nourish the spine and eat an antioxidant rich diet to support the body's natural detox processes.
Sleep on your back to help give your spine a break and avoid any strenuous activity for the first 24 hours after the chiropractic adjustment.
The reason why the chiropractor feels so good is because the adjustments that chiropractors do to the body releases endorphins and other chemicals called feel good chemicals in the.
The feel good chemicals in the body that are released during chiropractor adjustments make you feel good, happier and even more relaxed.
When the body perceives relief like when a chiropractor adjusts your back the body releases endorphins and the endorphins are known as feel good chemicals because they help your body cope with stress and pain.
The chiropractor adjustments also can improve oxygen and blood flow to your brain and can increase your concentration and energy.
The chiropractic adjustments can also activate the nerves in your central nervous system which manage sensory information and can also improve how your brain processes sensory information that can impact how your body responds to stress.
After chiropractic adjustments you should avoid heavy lifting, strenuous activity and sitting for long time periods.
You also should avoid poor posture and hot baths, sports, intense exercise, climbing stairs and any activities that strain the ligaments and muscles.
Feeling cold after chiropractic adjustment is normal and is because of the toxic release which can cause chills and cold or flu like symptoms and is normal and should go away in a few days or so.
Feeling so tired after the chiropractor is normal and is a normal response to the body adapting to the changes and beginning of the healing process.
Chiropractor adjustments can stimulate the release of toxins from your muscles and tissues and can temporarily stress the nervous system and lead to tiredness and fatigue.
The nervous system also plays a crucial role in how the body functions and the chiropractor adjustments can impact it's functioning and the body might need to readjust to the changes and cause fatigue.
Chiropractor adjustments can also cause temporary stiffness and muscle soreness as the body adapts to the new alignment and when combined with the relaxation of the muscles which may have been tense it can lead to tiredness.
Chiropractor adjustments can also improve oxygenation and blood flow to tissues and can initially lead to temporary exhaustion as the body adjusts to the increased activity.
Toxic release after chiropractic adjustment lasts from 24 hours to 48 hours.
However it's common for the effects to last up to 7 days, especially if you have undergone more intensive chiropractic treatments or for those that have significant toxin buildup.
If you don't drink water after the chiropractor the healing process can take longer and you may experience increased stiffness, soreness and slower recovery.
Not drinking enough water after the chiropractor can also affect your spinal health as the spinal discs, which act like cushions between your vertebrae and rely on hydration to maintain it's flexibility and strength.
When you're dehydrated the discs become less resilient and increase the risk of pain or even further injury.
Not drinking water or enough water after chiropractor treatment can also cause the toxins to not be released from the body properly.
The water helps to release toxins from the body by flushing them out and keeping the toxins from settling back in and causing potential pain or discomfort.
The reason why you need to drink water after a chiropractic adjustment is to flush out the toxins that are released by the body and prevent the toxins from building up in the body again.
Drinking the water to flush out toxins after the chiropractic adjustment helps the body heal faster and reduces the chance of pain returning.
When your spine is adjusted the body releases toxins that are stored in the muscles and tissues.
The water also helps to reduce inflammation in the body.
The cracking sound when you go to the chiropractor is a result of cavitation.
The cavitation that causes the cracking sound when you go to the chiropractor is caused by gas bubbles being released from your synovial fluid which lubricates your joints.
The synovial fluid is a lubricant for your joints and a cushion for your joints and can also contain dissolved gases like carbon dioxide, nitrogen and oxygen.
