That is very common when first being adjusted....sometimes I get so
light-headed I wonder if I'll pass out!

With the body re-aligned, it has to use neural pathways that it is
unaccustomed to giving the strange sensations...they pass with time and
eventually the new alignment "feels" normal....

Not really good idea...you're just undoing the realignment...

Perhaps an old injury that heled in the worng wy, but now feels "right"..

The problem arises in it not being "right" and over the years does more
damage than would normally occur...

The body naturally becomes accustomed to these "deformities"..a survival
thing of sorts.....however it may be worse over aa long time
period...decades....

I have the same problem described above...

lawsuits, injury....?

same same...plus you seem to wantto constantly undo their work.....which
evetually might lead to accusations of malpractice....

Exactly.

You want it to "feel" like it used to feel....unfortunately it "feels
right" when it is out of adjustment....

I believe that the discomfort *should* be short term and eventully go
away.....but if you undo it the process must restart time and time
again....you never make any progress.....

It's the double edged sword....

There is always the possibility that they are not good chiropractors..:)

Personally I only go to chiros thathave been in practice at least 15 to
20 years....I like to go with experience...:)

The hardest thing about visitied chiros isnot undoing their work...I am
guilty myself...especially with the neck.....it's a habit I must undo!
