While it is not necessary for you to rest after your adjustment, you might want to. Some people feel energized after an adjustment while others feel very relaxed and sleepy.
Hello,
No need for rest, go about your life as normal.

You should not only rest after your first adjustment but please make sure you drink plenty of water. You may even be a little sore depending on the severity of the situation. The reason why is that the adjustment will be releasing toxins from your joints, and the only way to flush those toxins is with water or rest.

It is best to walk after an adjustment.

Resting after a chiropractic treatment is not necessary, although some doctors use techniques that include a resting period post-adjustment and this can be beneficial for healing.
It depends on what you are being treated for, what type of treatment/adjustment will be done, and how your body responds. All of those are factors and you should ask your chiropractor about them. However, in my experience most people are fine to go about their normal activities after an adjustment.
