Different types of pain...

The word "pain" describes a lot of different experiences. Here are four common types of chronic pain and the mechanisms that may be involved.

Post Treatment soreness?

🤔 Sore after your adjustment and soft tissue work? You're not alone, and there's a reason for it.

Mild soreness after chiropractic care, especially when soft tissue work is included, is common. In a well-known study of chiropractic patients, around half reported some temporary discomfort, and most cases were mild, started within a few hours and were gone within 24 to 48 hours.

Why it happens:

🔹 Your tissues have been worked. Tight, overworked muscles and connective tissue are stretched and massaged. The body responds with a mild, short-lived inflammatory reaction and increased blood flow, similar to the soreness you feel a day after exercise.

🔹 Your nervous system is adjusting. Pain sensors in the area can become temporarily more sensitive, and muscles that were "guarding" now have more movement. The brain needs a little time to recalibrate to the new input.

🔹 You're moving differently. Joints and muscles that were stiff may be moving through a bigger range, and that unfamiliar movement can feel sore at first.

What helps: gentle movement and walking, staying hydrated, light heat, and rest if you feel tired.

Every patient is different, so if something doesn't feel right, just ask. 💙

Did you know that walking is seriously underrated for back pain???🚶

It's low-impact, keeps discs and joints nourished through gentle movement, and helps maintain the muscle endurance your spine relies on day to day — without needing equipment or a gym.

Start small: a 10-minute walk after a meal counts. Consistency beats intensity here.
