That’s a very easily aggravated condition. I would probably hold off if there’s still any discomfort.

It's very difficult to speculate about why you have pain after every adjustment. It's not fair of me to judge having no idea any details of your case. I would make sure the chiropractor knows it hurts after each adjustment and maybe try a different chiropractor and see if it still happens.

Really depends how bad the muscle strain is. Usually 2-6 weeks. Very often, people think it's a muscle strain, but it's a more serious underlying issue and the body responds with muscle guarding or spasm. So, the patient thinks the muscle is the primary problem and it isn't. Or, it might just be muscle strain.
