Does an adjustment hurt?
It’s possible to feel mild discomfort during or after an adjustment, especially if the area being treated is tight or inflamed. When muscles are tense or in spasm, stretching and restoring movement can cause temporary soreness. This is completely normal and often similar to how you might feel after a workout. Any post-treatment soreness typically resolves within a short time as the body begins to heal and adjust.

Does the adjustment hurt my animal?

In some cases, mild discomfort may be felt during or after an adjustment, especially if muscles are tight or in spasm due to injury or compensation.
