Back Cracking Techniques: Is Back Cracking Safe?
The popping noise you hear when visiting a chiropractor is completely normal and safe. It occurs because of the cracking or clicking sound that happens during an adjustment, which helps to relieve tension in your back muscles so they can heal more quickly!
When some people begin seeing a chiropractor they may be a little put off by the noise of the adjustment, however, it is a normal response to an adjustment. Most chiropractors will have a number of techniques that they can use, some of which will cause a few pops and clicks in the spine and some that may not. As a patient, it is completely up to you to decide what type of adjustment you are most comfortable receiving. Chiropractic adjustments have been found to be useful for people with a number of conditions such as back pain, headaches, neck pain, migraines, and sports injuries.
What Causes Your Back to Crack?
The cracking sound you hear when receiving back treatment is not proof that something hurts, but rather just small pockets of air popping in the fluid surrounding your joints. Your spine undergoes gentle stretching during an adjustment which causes this noise and it’s completely normal! After this treatment, you should feel more movement in your back.
