Why do I get headaches after chiropractic care?
Your body reacts to chemicals in and outside of your body. For instance, a strong perfume can cause mild headaches. Your spine serves as a busy pathway for chemical signals between your brain and the rest of the body. When your spine is misaligned, these chemical signals are blocked. The kink causes the accumulation of chemicals around your vertebrae and muscle joints. As the segmental dysfunction is removed it can cause the release of these chemical signals and toxins. Therefore, after the chiropractic adjustment, a sudden release of so many chemical signals overwhelm the nervous system, and you experience mild to severe headaches.
