Have you ever wondered what causes the cracking sound during a chiropractic adjustment?
One of the most common questions I hear from patients is, “What exactly is that popping sound?”
In this first installment of the Element Spine & Wellness Patient Education Series, I explain:
• What actually causes the sound
• What tribonucleation is
• Whether more cracking means a better adjustment
• Whether an adjustment has to make a sound to be effective
• Common misconceptions about chiropractic care
My goal is to provide clear, evidence-informed education that helps patients better understand their care.
I’d love to hear what topics you’d like to see covered in future videos!
