Toxic Release

Have you ever gotten a chiropractic adjustment and felt unusual symptoms after the fact, including digestive issues, fatigue, or flu-like conditions? This phenomenon is often referred to as toxic release, and it’s not unusual after chiropractic care. Once you understand what toxic release is and what toxins can be released after a chiropractic adjustment, you’ll understand that what you’re feeling is no cause for alarm. 

When you think about your body and all that it does, it’s easy to understand how it is like a fine-tuned machine. But, like machines, your body releases byproducts and even toxins. Toxins can be responsible for causing multiple issues in your body and when your spine has a misalignment or subluxation, toxins build inside the capsules that surround the joints. With chiropractic care, those misalignments are corrected, thus releasing those toxins. Here’s what you need to know about toxic release and chiropractic care.

There are some things you own that you expect to last – your car, your house, even your computer. To keep these items in good condition, you take care of them. When your car makes a strange noise, you take it to the mechanic. If your sink springs a leak, you call the plumber. But what about one of the most important things in your life – your body? Just as you take care of items you own, so too should you maintain your health and that means getting your body in for a chiropractic adjustment when something isn’t working as it should. Regular chiropractic care is an investment in your health, but what about right after an adjustment? In order to ensure you are getting the full benefits of chiropractic care, you have to practice a little self-care. Here are our tips to take care of your body between adjustments to promote long-term healing.

Are you preparing for your first chiropractic visit? If so, we want you to know about toxic release. After your first adjustment, you may experience slight cold or flu-like symptoms. No, this isn’t because the practice is unclean or because your chiropractor didn’t do a good job, but because of toxic release. Here’s what you need to know.
