Chiropractor Questions Chiropractic Adjustment

Is it normal to have headaches after chiropractic adjustment?

I am a 32-year-old male. I had a chiropractic neck adjustment yesterday and I have bad headaches today. Is it normal? What could be the cause?

Hi there, sorry to hear that you are experiencing headaches. I recommend going back to your Chiropractor to get reevaluated. This could be "simple" muscle tension that happens when the tissues aren't relaxed enough and "fight" the adjustment, this can result in headaches/tension. I hope you are feeling better by now.
