What is the "crack"?

​

The "crack"  that is heard during a chiropractic adjustment comes from a controlled high speed movement which is applied to the joint. This is done to help reduce pain and improve range of motion. The actual noise comes from the release of air bubbles in the joint. The thorough assessment will be performed beforehand to ensure that you will benefit from this technique. If you do not want to have this particular technique done, there are many other low force techniques which can be used instead.
