The "popping" or "cracking" sound is much like cracking your knuckles. It is a release of gas from the joint capsule. This, however, is not the adjustment. The specific movement, of a specific bone, in a specific way, at a specific time, by a qualified Doctor of Chiropractic IS the adjustment.

A - Adjustment of a joint may result in release of a gas bubble between the joints that makes a popping sound - it's exactly the same as when you "crack" your knuckles. The noise is caused by the change of pressure within the joint that results in gas bubbles being released. There is no pain involved.

Most adjusting techniques never involve any popping or cracking. However, lubricating fluids separate the bones of each spinal joint. Some adjusting methods can produce a sound when the gas and fluids in the joint shift. It's like removing a suction cup - it is NOT the bones cracking! This sound has nothing to do with the quality or value of the adjustment.

This noise is similar to the "crack" heard when cracking your knuckles. It is perfectly safe and does not cause arthritis. (In fact, it helps improve arthritic conditions.) The popping sound is the result of gas within your joints responding to the change of pressure when an adjustment occurs. The closer to your head it is, the louder the sound will be.

Although manipulation involves a sudden thrust with speed, it is over an extremely small range of movement - similar to the movement in the joint when you crack your fingers. It is usually accompanied by a pop or a cracking sound. The technical term for this is "cavitation". This is not made by bone, but is the sound of the collapse of a bubble of gas that escapes from the joint fluid because of low pressure when the two joint surfaces are separated.

Actually, not all adjusting techniques produce the sound associated with "popping knuckles." Some create no sound at all, some a little or a lot. Many techniques, however, do create the sound of a joint "release." What causes it? The mystery may have been solved by a British research team. It is gas that is in the synovial sac and "pops" after a pressure change around the joint space.

Although there is some sense of satisfaction in hearing the "popping" noise during an adjustment, you do not need to hear it in order for the adjustment to have occurred. The doctor will palpate to be sure that proper motion has been restored to the joint. That is how you know the adjustment has occurred.

Many people refer to this popping as the bones “cracking”. However, this is not the case at all. The popping sound is simply a release of gases that have built up in your joints. When the Doctor applies pressure to the joint, it releases these stored gases thus creating a popping sound.

This sound occurs when tiny bubbles of carbon dioxide are released from the fluid that surrounds the joint surfaces. It's not the bones rubbing together. It has no clinical benefit and is no indication of how good an adjustment was on your progress.

You may have a SPRAINED ankle, but it''s possible to break a bone of the lower leg and still be able to stand on it.

When pressure is applied during an adjustment, both sections of a joint may move apart rapidly. This causes a change of pressure within the joint space, occasionally causing a bubble of gas to 'pop.' The sound isn't significant and doesn't hurt.
