Decatur Chiropractic Insight: Does the popping sound mean your adjustment was successful?
Not necessarily. The popping sound during adjustments is called cavitation—simply gas bubbles releasing from joint fluid. It's not bones cracking.
An effective adjustment doesn't always make a sound, and the goal is to restore proper movement and alignment to joints—not to create a pop. Success means improved mobility and pain relief.
Dr. Edward Lewis at Arrowhead Clinic's Decatur location specialize in car accident injury treatment at 2414 Wesley Chapel Rd Suite B. The presence or absence of popping sounds doesn't indicate whether adjustments are effective.
With 48+ years treating auto accident victims, Arrowhead combines chiropractic and medical care. They refer patients to personal injury attorneys for maximum settlements—no out-of-pocket costs. Results matter, not sounds.
