Ever wonder why your chiropractor lightly glides their hand over the same area right after an adjustment?
It’s not random — and it’s not just a habit.
That quick “post-adjustment touch” helps your nervous system lock in the correction. When we make a spinal adjustment, your brain receives new input about joint position. That gentle glide stimulates mechanoreceptors, calms overactive muscles, and tells the body, “This is the new normal.”
For active patients in Naperville who deal with repetitive strain or old sports injuries, this step helps the adjustment hold longer, reduces muscle guarding, and improves mobility right away.
At our Naperville chiropractic clinic, we use this technique intentionally as part of corrective care — not just cracking joints, but helping your muscles and nervous system work together for real, long-term results.
