Responses and reactions to treatment

During a course of treatment the majority of patients feel physical changes as their body realigns. These may include a brief period of stiffness or tiredness, but more often a feeling of well-being and relief from stress.

Some people feel worse before they get better. It is important to remember that while your body is adjusting to a more comfortable alignment, the pattern of pain or sensations may change. You may even temporarily develop new aches or pains or experience a reoccurrence of previous pains, as the body "back-tracks" through the course of the problem.

Just as it takes years to get the body into a dysfunctional state, it can take a while to recover from this and teach the body new habits. The effort always pays off!
