Chiropractic care isn't always associated with sport; this misconception is possibly because professional sports players are attended to by the 'physio', this term often relates to the bib rather than the actual expertise of the medical professional. Actually, they are attended by a professional in manual therapy. This may be a physiotherapist but, in many of the top sports teams in the world, the lead clinician is actually a chiropractor. For example, Arsenal, Chelsea, Real Madrid, to name but a very few are all run by chiropractors. This is usually because chiropractors have a much greater medical knowledge and holistic knowledge than other manual therapists.

Chiropractic care is one of the best forms of treatment and rehabilitation to get players back into the game and for them to stay there. If you're suffering from a niggling injury that's ruining your game, book an appointment with the Ilkley Chiropractic Clinic to understand how we can help you.

Why do joints make a popping noise? John, our lead chiropractor, has the answer. The “popping” sound, or as we call it, the audible release is a result of gas being transferred across the membrane of the spherical capsule that surrounds every joint. The capsule contains the lubricant, synovial fluid, that effectively oils the movement of the joint. Compression of this capsule which occurs as part of the manipulation causes some gas to “pop” across the membrane.

During a chiropractic appointment, this popping or cracking noise can routinely be experienced as part of joint adjustment and mobilisation.

If you're feeling sore or stiff in any of your joints or musculature you could benefit from a consultation book an appointment today with our chiropractors. Chiropractors treat the whole of the musculoskeletal system of the body, not just the back and neck.

What does a Chiropractor actually do?

Chiropractors address issues involving the joints, bones, and muscles, and the effects they have on the nervous system.
