What does it mean if I have a headache after an adjustment?

Answer by  NYCCDC (311)

Yes, however, if you begin to feel nausea, dizziness, or weakness, call your doctor or go to the ER. Likely it is related to tight musculature that is calming down.

If you have a headache after an adjustment, just means that your body is just trying to adjust to something new, it is perfectly normal, but I would suggest that if your headache doesn't go away after at least a week, tell your doctor.

Well it is pretty normal to get a headache. It can also indicate that you need to drink more water and you may be dehydrated.

your adjustment is responsible for increasing a large amount of blood to your head. This is not a good thing. Many people have suffered minor strokes from just such event.

That is very normal after you get adjusted you sometimes will have headaches for a day or so because everything is getting used to being back in place. Alot of time this creates swelling and that will cause pain as well. If you are concerned contact your doctor tell them the problem and they will have an answer for you.
