I’ve been asked if chiropractic adjustments are addictive or can you get addicted to the adjustments, and there is no evidence of physical dependency.
What often happens is symptoms may return after you stop getting regular care because, potentially, the underlying issue was never fully resolved, or you continue to do something in your life or your job that has re-aggravated the original problem.
Similar to going to the dentist for regular cleanings, regular chiropractic adjustments help prevent countless ailments and can prevent the proverbial mole hills from becoming the big, ugly mountains in your body.
Regular adjustments make you feel good. So yeah, there is a dopamine release when you get adjusted, and while it’s not truly addictive, it does make you feel better, and that really is the point… to make you feel better and keep you doing the things that you love to do.
