It is possible to be sore after a chiropractic adjustment. We always recommend our patients ice for twenty minutes at a time as often as they can after their first couple of visits. All of the muscles and ligaments that are attached to the spine are getting stretched and pulled in different ways than they have in a long time, so they can get sore. Most people slowly get better with chiropractic care, some rapidly get better and then there are the patients that may get worse before they get better.

That is a great question. Everyone will heal at a different pace. Some patients might get better right away with the right care, some might get worse before they get better and some just get better gradually. With the proper care most patients start to feel pain relief within the first ten to twelve visits over a few weeks. If not treated it will probably take a lot longer since the underlying cause of the pain is not being addressed.

This would mean you have some degeneration and potential arthritis in your neck.
