I have - and it's similar to deep muscle massage, in that it moves those muscles around and releases toxins and bacteria. Dr. K is Seattle now recommends to have a deep tissue massage before having a WB done because of this. He's saying that he's seeing more positives now with those that do this.

I would encourage you to use some binders or just increase your detoxing for a while as things calm down.

Not until you are strong enough to be able to control the symptoms that you get afterwards. If it's making you herx for several days, it's showing you that your muscles are full of toxins.

I hesitate telling people to not go to a good Chiro. My hubby is up and around only because of a really good Chiro that understands his issues. I use the same Chiro when I can't deal with it any longer, so I see it as a part of necessary treatments from time to time - BUT herxing is hard on our bodies, so we don't want that to continue to happen.

I would suggest that you ramp up your detoxing for a couple of weeks before going again - then see how you do after that appt before deciding how often you should be going.
