"Are you sure you won't snap my neck?"
Despite the dramatic YouTube videos, cervical manipulation (or 'neck cracking') is incredibly safe and effective when performed by a highly trained specialist.
What is the 'Crack'? It’s not your bones breaking! The sound is caused by gas bubbles (like carbon dioxide) forming and popping in the fluid of your joint capsule—just like cracking your knuckles.
This precise, high-velocity movement quickly reduces pain, increases your range of motion, and improves spinal function. It can even help with certain types of headaches and brain fog!
Qualified chiropractors are trained to recognise and diagnose any contraindications. If an adjustment isn't right for you, we adapt the treatment immediately (we have many other tools like stretching, massage, and medical acupuncture).
