Q

What do we say if a patient feels worse after treatment

A

Some patients have a small reaction after an adjustment.

Often when an angry inflamed joint is moved the disturbance can make it angrier before it settles down

This is quite normal and usually a sign of the body responding to treatment

I’ll let the dr know and I’m sure he’ll give you a call to talk
