Toxins Released After Chiropractic Adjustment: The Retracing Phenomenon

Quick Summary: After a chiropractic adjustment, some people feel temporary soreness, fatigue, mild flu-like symptoms, or old aches returning for a short time. This is sometimes called retracing, and it may happen as the body adjusts to changes in spinal movement, posture, and nervous system function. These symptoms are usually short-lived, but strong, worsening, or […]

Matthews Family Chiropractic was recommended to me by my parents, who have been seeing Dr. Hanna for years. Six years ago, I had a successful microdiscectomy but recently ended up pinching my L5 which caused me tremendous pain that was reminiscent of my previous injury that led to back surgery. I was scared and panicked when I called Dr. Hanna but after a thorough exam and x-rays (more thorough than was done when I was having my surgery six years ago!), Dr. Hanna assured me that with consistent chiropractic care, my body could fix the pinched L5 and I could get back to normal. He was absolutely right! I am 99% better about 10 weeks in. He saved me from another surgery and from re-injuring myself further. I am so incredibly grateful for his help and expertise. He is so kind and the entire office staff knew my name and my story immediately which made me feel so important and cared for. I cannot recommend them enough!

Response from the owner:We are so honored to serve you, Heather. And we appreciate you taking the time to leave such a kind and detailed review of our practice.

Matthews Family Chiropractic is phenomenal! They have been helping me so much with my pain following an accident. The entire team is incredibly kind and caring. Dr. Mechelle is so sweet and always greets you with a smile, and Dr. Hanna is equally amazing. They are both incredibly honest and take the time to explain the issues you’re experiencing.

Their hands are truly healing—it's like their fingers know exactly where the pain is, almost as if they have live X-ray vision. It’s incredible how talented they are! I absolutely adore Dr. Mechelle and how much care she puts into everything she does.

The staff treats you like family, which makes every visit such a positive experience. I recommend them 100%—once you try their care, you won’t want to go anywhere else! They’ve significantly reduced my pain, and there’s no doubt in my mind that God surrounds us with wonderful people like them who know how to help without pushing for long waits or unnecessary surgeries.

Thank you, Matthews Family Chiropractic, and may God bless you and your amazing team! 🙏

Response from the owner:We appreciate you, Lee. Thank you for sharing your feedback :)

The staff is so kind and personable! Dr. Hanna is gentle, careful and always refers to the X-rays. After seeing him for two months now, my sciatic pain in my left leg is gone and I’m already noticing improvement in my back as well!

Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We really appreciate it.

I started going about 4 to 6 weeks ago. They explain what was wrong with me and how they are gonna fix the problem. Couldn't be happier!

Dr. Hanna and his assistant Laura are very thorough and professional.
The office is very welcoming and relaxing. Everything was explained to me and a plan was put in place. Only been there three times so far but my back is feeling so much better with non invasive movements and no pain.
I will continue to see Dr. Hanna on a regular basis long after my treatment is done. Very happy I found them!

First started coming to Matthews Family Chiropractic over 30 years ago, (right after they started receiving patience). Within a few months Dr. John had completely eliminated my back pain. Now 30 years later and back pain has returned guess where I went? Back to Dr. John .. In less than a month my back has already improved. He is a great doctor and a great guy. He also has a very friendly staff that will make you feel like family. I highly recommend.

When I went to the clinic it's in a lot of pain, I couldn't walk because of a lot of pain in my lower back. Dr. John and his team gave me all the care and care I needed.

Dr. John is Awesome….He cares about his patients and is very knowledgeable about his field. Everyone there makes me feel at home. From the initial consultation to the follow up visits I have had the same welcoming experience. My pain has slowly eased.

Thanks Dr. John

Wonder staff! Very prompt and attentive!

Best chiropractor I’ve ever been to. Very gentle, effective, and everyone on staff is so sweet

This is an amazing place to come to when you need chiropractic services. It has brought me relaxing peace and it is wonderful to know that the doctor and staff cares about my back health and also how I am doing. They have been kind and helpful throughout my visits. Many thanks to them for helping me. 🤗

Dr. Hanna is very caring and attentive. He has 32 years of experience, and that means a lot to me. I wish that I had been under his care sooner, as I know I would have greatly benefited in healthy prevention of my current spine deficiencies.

Had a chance to get my treatment done there, awesome place to get adjusted,
