Hello. I don't know if your Doctor explained to you in the beginning that 50% of the time when you get adjusted you will feel better, 40% of the time you will feel no change, and 10% of the time you will feel worse. The reason why is because when you get adjusted, the doc is moving your spine from where it is used to be, to where it is suppose to be. And in the process the muscles will pull the spine back. My advice is to let your doctor know how you reacted to the adjustment and see if he does any muscle work to help.
