Have you ever wondered what the cracking noise is? 🤔
Chiropractors are often associated with being people who ‘crack’ things back in to place but this is not really the case.
The noise you may hear that accompanies an adjustment is created by a lubricant called synovial fluid which is full of dissolved gas and when the joints of the spine are opened or corrected in a rapid movement it creates a vacuum in the joint. This vacuum sucks the gas out of the lubricant and the release of gas is what creates the noise of the pop or click. 🤯
If you do not hear a noise when getting adjusted, it doesn’t mean it hasn’t worked, it just means that there was no sound from the gas escaping the joint. ☺️
Pretty interesting right? 🤓
