Understanding Chiropractic Adjustments
A chiropractic adjustment involves a skilled chiropractor, like Dr. Joseph Sullivan, using their hands or small instruments to apply a controlled force to a spinal joint. The goal is to improve spinal motion and your body’s physical function.
What Toxins Are Released After Chiropractic Adjustment?
When you receive a chiropractic adjustment, your body undergoes several beneficial changes. One common question is, “What toxins are released after a chiropractic adjustment?” Let’s break it down in simple terms.
- Metabolic Waste:
- Our bodies produce metabolic waste naturally as cells work and generate energy. During a chiropractic adjustment, the improved blood flow and movement can help release and flush out this waste more effectively.
- Inflammatory Byproducts:
- When there is inflammation in your body, it produces certain chemicals as a response. Chiropractic adjustments can help reduce inflammation and thus, the byproducts of inflammation (like cytokines) are released and removed from your system.
- Lactic Acid:
- Lactic acid builds up in muscles due to physical activity and can cause soreness. Chiropractic care can improve circulation, helping to release and clear lactic acid from your muscles.
- Toxins from Tense Muscles:
- Tension in muscles can trap toxins. An adjustment can help relax these muscles, releasing the trapped toxins into the bloodstream for removal.
The Body’s Detox Process
After an adjustment, your body naturally works to expel these toxins. Drinking plenty of water, getting enough rest, and maintaining a healthy diet can aid this process. This detoxification can sometimes cause temporary symptoms such as mild fatigue or soreness, but these are normal and typically short-lived.

- Better posture
