The brain stem is where the brain and spinal cord meet at the top of your neck. This interference to the nervous system can cause or contribute to all kinds of symptoms and illness conditions. Because of the precise X-ray analysis, a correction can be made without any forceful, jerking or twisting movements. Most patients will see immediate results on the first correction, many patients notice immediate relief of pain or headaches, a warm feeling in the painful area, experience a feeling of relaxation and increased range of motion. These are due to the nervous system responding to the structural correction.
Symptoms can also be a positive sign that healing is taking place.
You should not be concerned if the pain changes or moves to another area of the body. Symptoms may decrease immediately. However, the amount of misalignment and severity of the condition will determine the recovery time. Please make the doctor aware of any and all changes. Remember, pain is a sign that the body is working, any changes can be part of the healing process.
