Have you ever experienced temporary side effects after a chiropractic adjustment? Maybe you feel ill, groggy, or sore a few days after your adjustment. We have found around less than a quarter of our patients experience some sort of “toxic release” during their initial phase of structural care.
 

While that may sound daunting, it is actually beneficial. Think about all the store toxins within the body that makes a person sick. Your body has gotten used to this stressor. A spinal adjustment has helped detox or “release” these built-up toxins which is flushed out through various parts of your body.
 

Toxins within are body are obtained through many different ways including: stress (three types), environment, foods, and medications.
 

How Do Chiropractic Adjustments Release Toxins?

In our own experience, we have always recommended to get your spine checked when you’re not feeling well. Chiropractic adjustments focus on removing subluxations – which are structural shifts of the spine leading to secondary conditions. These structural shifts can lead to a multiple number of issues in the body. When the body is free from subluxations, it improved nervous system function and can also help the body “remove” stored toxins. Similar to getting a massage and removing the buildup of lactic acid in the muscles.
 

Normal bodily function is controlled by spinal nerves through the nervous system. These spinal nerves responsibility is to send messages back and forth between the brain and your body. When these spinal nerves become irritated, there is a decrease in communication of messages through the neural pathways – which leads to build-up of toxins. Toxins are often stored in fatty tissues such our brains, nerves, glands, etc. In regards to chiropractic, toxins are stored inside capsules that surround the spinal joints.
 

Chiropractic is effective in helping facilitate the release of stored toxins from the body, which can lead to the body function properly. In addition, the release of toxins after a chiropractic adjustment will result in your body healing and working as it was designed.

 

Symptoms of Toxic Release following a Chiropractic Adjustment

After you receive a chiropractic adjustment, you may experience symptoms / temporary side effects. This is typically a good sign your body is healing.

Detoxifying your body may results in symptoms like:
 

  • Ill

  • Groggy / Fatigue

  • Sore

  • Headaches

  • Cold or Flu-like symptoms
     

It is important to continue the detoxing process which involved drinking water and resting. Plenty of water helps the body flush out all the toxins that has built up. What you are currently experiencing should diminish in a day or two.
 

How Long Does Toxic Release Last following a Chiropractic Adjustment?

The duration of time you experience symptoms depends on each person. For some individuals, it may only last one day after the spinal adjustment. For others, they may experience an extended detoxification process which could be a few days.
 

It is normal to have toxins within the body so we always recommend to eat nutritious meals, drink plenty of water, and exercise. The more you sweat, the more you can release all the unwanted toxins from within the body.
 

Thus, hydration is key when starting chiropractic care while avoiding foods or drinks that contribute to dehydration.
