Why do I feel emotional or cry after a chiropractic adjustment?

This phenomenon is known as Somato-Emotional Release. Physical tension and trauma can be stored in the body's soft tissues. When Dr. Fraser performs a Gonstead adjustment to release this physical tension, it can sometimes trigger a simultaneous release of stored emotions.

Can a chiropractor help with clogged ears?

Yes. The Eustachian tube can become blocked due to misalignment in the upper cervical spine or jaw dysfunction. Specific chiropractic adjustments, such as the Muncie Technique utilized by Dr. Fraser, can help drain the tube and relieve ear pressure and pain for patients in Basalt.

Why do my cheeks feel warm after an adjustment?

Warmth in the face or cheeks is often a sign of increased blood flow and a shift in the autonomic nervous system. Correcting a cervical subluxation can relax the sympathetic ('fight or flight') nerves, causing vasodilation and a warming sensation.

Is it normal to feel 'high' or euphoric after a chiropractor visit?

Yes. Chiropractic adjustments can stimulate the release of endorphins and dopamine (the body's natural feel-good chemicals) while reducing cortisol (stress hormone). This neurochemical shift often leads to a temporary feeling of euphoria or deep relaxation.
