Treatment will depend on the type and extent of your condition or problem and will be tailored to meet your individual needs. It may involve the use of heat or ice packs or soft tissue manipulation to reduce swelling, relax the joint and loosen tense muscles. Indeed, many conditions can be treated with only gentle massage and manipulation using very little force. Your treatment may take place while you are standing, sitting or more usually lying down. You may feel a little sore after treatment.
Some people also experience a slight exhilaration whilst others just want to rest or sleep.
How quickly you recover from these feelings can depend on your general health and your age. The older you are the longer it can take. Soreness for instance, can take a couple of days to settle. The number of times you need to see the chiropractor depends on your age, the nature of your condition and how long you have had it. Recent injuries can often be treated quite quickly.
