What to Expect
During treatment, the doctor will make specific corrections and perform certain adjustments. The difference is in the treatment of the Atlas (C1) and the upper cervical spine. The body and frame will be more balanced and certain compensatory misalignments, called subluxations, will want to correct themselves. Certain musculature and joints may feel sore and/or achy. *Occasionally patients report discomfort in various areas, including areas not originally mentioned as a chief complaint*
It is important for the patient to remember that they are going through a healing phase and healing does not “feel” good. The feeling well comes after the healing when the body is healthy. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and have changes in symptomatology within minutes to hours.
The patient may feel sore or bruised, especially day of treatment as the inflammation and toxins are released from tissues and the body heals. Patients will be advised how to cope with any discomfort they may experience in the most natural ways possible.
