Self-Care & Seasonal Depression
October 11, 2024
Livingston County Chiropractic has a goal to protect and heal the people of Pontiac, Illinois—and one way our doctors have discovered to do that is by offering different types of natural detox solutions. Just like chiropractic therapy helps with weight loss and pain relief, it also helps with removing the toxins that accumulate in your body. Through life, we gain toxins from a variety of sources, including intense stress. These toxins tend to build around the spine and in our joints, and bubble in the gut and liver. While people don’t usually have chiropractic sessions specifically for detoxifying their bodies, most people find that getting a full body detox is a huge benefit of the sessions.
After having a good chiropractic session, the next few days are critical. Between 10-20% of the patients we serve experience detox symptoms. These are from the newly broken up toxins that were around the spine and organs and some people refer to this as a toxic release. Some of the most common symptoms include fatigue, nausea, dizziness, or tightness in muscles. On the rarer side are night sweats and gastrointestinal discomfort.
When people detox for the first time, it usually tends to be better if it is the first time in a series. This is because the body has experienced the toxin release before, so now the immune system can better respond to the newly released toxins. There are many people who look for detoxification through medication or other means. However, chiropractic sessions are the most effective when it comes to natural detox, and that is because it is a byproduct of getting your body in great condition.
