It's a question many patients have pondered while lying on the chiropractic table during their adjustment. The repetitive nature of these adjustments might leave you wondering: Is there a method to this seemingly targeted madness?

In the world of chiropractic care, the spine takes center stage as a crucial player in the overall well-being of the human body. While it might appear that we are fixated on a particular region, there's more to this practice than meets the eye. Listen in as we discuss the reasons why and the intricacies of chiropractic adjustments as we unravel the mystery behind why chiropractors often focus on the same area of the spine. 

First off, it's important to know that getting a little soreness after your first adjustment is completely normal. Think of it as a positive sign that your body is responding to the changes. During an adjustment, we're realigning the spine and stimulating the nervous system, which can cause some temporary discomfort.

The soreness is often a result of your body adapting to the new alignment. It's similar to starting a new workout routine – the muscles and joints need time to adjust. Typically, this soreness lasts for a day or two at most, and it's a sign that your body is on the path to healing.

Listen in as we explain what is happening to the spine and body as it works through the re-alignment process.
