Last week, Mr Smith who’d received chiropractic adjustment reported to us that he felt some problem internally the previous night. Our chiropractor assured him that it came from just a metabolic byproduct released from his body named ‘toxins’.
Now the question is – What toxins are released after chiropractic adjustment? How to clean those from the body?
In this blog, we will inform you about the toxins and its clean process. Keep reading as I am giving you the best answer.
Toxins that released after chiropractic care
Firstly, you need to know that the toxins released after chiropractic adjustment are not poisons. They are triggered from muscles and joints. When you suffer from long term neuromuscular disorders like back pain, hip pain, spinal issues, sciatica and other pain related problems and you receive chiropractic care, your body must release toxins. Here is a list of them.
- Carbon dioxide
- Lactic acid
- Urea
- Uric acid
- Creatinine
- Other Nitrogenous waste products
Why are toxins released?
During a chiropractic adjustment, a chiropractor treats you in a natural way like exercise, message, soft tissue therapy, hot and cold therapy etc. After the treatment your spines will be realigned, muscles will be stronger and body will be relaxed. And then, you will feel some unexpected changes in your internal body. This happens when toxins are released from your muscles, joints, kidney, liver and lungs.
Side effects of released toxins
There are some side effects of the toxins released after chiropractic adjustment. However, those stay for a day or two. So, don’t panic.
-
Fever
When you receive chiropractic care, your body gets rid of spinal misalignment. Then the new alignment needs some time to recover with your body function. At this time, you will feel a fever. It’s the sign of your body’s recovery.
-
Headache
Headache is reported by only 5% of people who receive chiropractic adjustment. But it will not stay a long time.
-
Pain
It is a common side effect of chiropractic adjustment. Don’t need to take pain killers.
-
Uneasy feelings
You will also feel uneasiness. It occurs from realignment and replacement of your posture. Nervousness is another reason for uneasy feelings.
How to clean the released toxins?
Though toxins are not harmful, they should be cleaned out. To avoid headache, pain and uneasy feelings you can follow these steps:
-
Drinking plenty of water
During chiropractic adjustment, your joints, muscles and vessels are used so far. So, you should drink water a lot to recover your strength.
-
Resting
After chiropractic care, you need to rest your body. Proper rest is very essential that time.
-
Sleeping
For better improvement, you need a sound sleep. Sleep is called ‘silent medicine’. Sleep more and cure faster.
-
Avoiding hard work
It will be harmful if you start hard work just after your chiropractic adjustment. So, avoid hard work.
-
Exercising
Do a low impact exercise like walking. But avoid high impact exercise which can put pressure on your joints and muscles.
Are there any positive sides of released toxins?
Sure. Toxin release proves that your chiropractic adjustment starts working. Your new alignment of spine and posture need some time to recover and at this time, your body must release toxins. So be positive.
What is the risk of releasing toxins?
If it takes a long time to recover your body, that will be sensitive. However, inform your chiropractor and follow his/her recommendation.
In the end, we are summering the blog. Toxins that are released after chiropractic adjustment are a sign of your cure. You may feel fever, headache, pain and uneasy feelings but following some steps like sleeping, exercising and drinking plenty of water will clean the toxins from your body.
