No, your body does not release toxins after a chiropractic adjustment. Chiropractic adjustments are a form of manual therapy primarily focused on the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine. Chiropractors use their hands or specialized tools to manipulate the joints, aiming to improve alignment, reduce pain, and enhance overall function.
The concept of “releasing toxins” as a result of chiropractic adjustments is not based on scientific evidence and is not a widely accepted or supported idea within the medical or chiropractic communities. Toxins are typically processed and eliminated from the body by the liver and kidneys, and they are not related to the manipulation of the spine or musculoskeletal system.
Chiropractic care can be beneficial for certain musculoskeletal conditions, such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches.
