There are many possible reactions following a Dorn treatment. Usually the patient feels better immediately after the treatment. Due to the new positions of the joints (especially in the spine) the muscles may react with some tension and pain up to a few days after the therapy. The points that were pressed may be sensitive to pressure, and light pressure marks may appear on the skin. Also flu-like symptoms are possible. The increased nerve flow may lead to a detoxification of our body due to a positive change in our metabolism so this cleansing can show on the skin or in a change in urination or stool.
 Even psychological issues may appear. All this is often called 'healing crisis' and should be judged positively. The patient is encouraged to drink lots of water and refrain from bad postures, abrupt movements and heavy lifting directly after the therapy. Remember: Rest supports the healing process!
