Actually, not all adjusting techniques produce the sound associated with “popping of knuckles”. Some create no sound at all; some create only a small sound. Many techniques, however, do create the sound of spinal “release.” What causes it? The British research team that took x-ray movies of people “popping” their knuckles may have solved the mystery. The sound appears to be caused by gas rushing in to fill the partial vacuum created when the joints were slightly separated.
