What is a Chiropractic Spinal Adjustment?
Chiropractors are trained to recognize if a
joint has decreased motion or is “restricted”.
When those restrictions have been determined,
the chiropractor will perform a gentle,
adjustive force to the area of limited motion.
This restores normal, healthy joint function and
reduces muscular tightness.
The “popping” sound sometimes heard during an
adjustment is gas being released from the joint
cavity. It sounds similar to when someone
“cracks their knuckle”. It is not dangerous or
harmful and it does not cause any sort of damage
to your joints. With that being said, however,
some people do not hear any sound at all. The
goal of the treatment is not to “hear a pop” but
to encourage better joint motion and decrease
muscle tension. |
