A Chiropractic adjustment involves the creation of a vacuum inside the joint that has been restricted. The clicking sound is due to a release of air inside that joint and NOT bone moving over bone. It is a very safe and beneficial treatment for all joints off the body not only spinal joints which seems to be a popular assumption.

After your adjustment you may feel amazing, as range of motion is improved, circulation begins to be restored to affected areas, and your muscles begin to relax. You might also experience some tenderness, as your body begins to move into the correct positions and starts to look for its “new, better normal”. Either is normal, but it is what you do next that can really play into how effective your adjustment is.

Some people may experience minor side effects for a few days after chiropractic adjustment. These may include headaches, fatigue or pain in the parts of the body that were treated. This can persist for up to 48 hours.

Reactions following a chiropractic adjustment vary greatly from person to person. These may range from a great sense of exhilaration immediately following the adjustment, to a feeling of aching and soreness. An ice pack often reduces the symptoms of this chiropractic technique faster.
