Best Answer

If this was your first treatment, some of the muscles in your upper back may feel sore for a few days. There are about 7 layers of muscle in your back and 24 movable bones that make up the spine. The spine can lose normal range of motion, very slowly, over time and when that occurs the muscle get deconditioned or lazy. When you receive a chiropractic adjustment there may be some pops or clicks, but there will be increased range of motion and all those deconditioned/lazy muscles have to work normally again. An example of what results is if you have ever started a new exercise routine or worked out in the yard for the first time in the spring and are out of shape, you wake up the next day and will often experience similar muscle soreness.

Research has shown that 30-50% of patients experience some mild soreness following spinal manipulation, for the reasons described above. These mild side-effects will go away in less than 24 hours. It is important to tell your chiropractor about all soreness or changes you experience following an adjustment so that they can appropriately modify their treatment protocol to best suit your body.

How is a chiropractic adjustment done?

There is no set fee or standard for the price of an adjustment, prices are set by the doctor of chiropractic. I have personally seen chiropractic adjustments as low as in the $30s (especially at a chiropractic school) or upwards of $100 or more. Many chiropractic physicians set there fees based on CMS guidelines that determined fees based on region and other professional and technical variables. Often these fees are also based upon how many regions of the spine are adjusted and whether or not extremities (arms or legs) are involved.

How do you heal deep lower back pains?

It depends on what is going on with your vertebrae and hips. Going to bed with the pain may not be the best option -- if this is going on more than a few days, get to a doctor. You might also find some relief with alternating ice and heat, walking in a swimming pool, gentle yoga, a chiropractic adjustment, or lying on your back with your feet up. Ibuprofen on a short term basis may help inflammation.
