What reaction to expect after your first session

Every single body is different. I don’t know how you’re going to feel after your appointment.

Some people walk out of the appointment feel like a weight has been lifted, feel like they are floating and immediately know they are on the right tracks.

Other people feel great for a few days and the perhaps on day 4-5 feel their body starts regressing.

Other people almost within a few hours or the next morning feel beaten up, as if they have been in 10 rounds with Mike Tyson.

All three reactions are normal!

The people who usually react in the 3rd way are people who generally have had pain for a long time. Their bodies have adapted to being in their old position and so have their muscles.

They are also usually older with perhaps some degenerative changes in their bodies and it takes longer to adapt. What I have found is that after about 3-4 sessions this “wiped out” feeling goes. And you start to feel good right from the start.

If you are the second person, whereby it’s come back this is also normal. It takes time for the body to stay in its new position, alignment. This is why follow up appointments are important.

Some people say things like “chiropractic worked for me but it didn’t give lasting affects” these are usually patients who haven’t followed the guidance and tried to short cut their healing. Ultimately the body keeps the score and there are no short cuts.

Finally if you have adjusted well and feeling great that is awesome news!

If you wanted to up your post adjustment experience having a hot soak in the bath with magnesium or Epsom salts for half an hour, drinking lots of water, going to bed early and not training would be great.

If you are feeling any pain ice to that area to decrease any inflammation would be recommended. Remember I’ve only for 10 mins and not directly on the skin.
