Whats that cracking noise?
Most patients will ask this question sooner or later. A joint contains fluid that helps keep it healthy and lubricated, like oil for the joint. This ‘synovial fluid’ contains gas like carbonation in soft drinks. When an adjustment is made you may hear a noise called an ‘audible release’. The audible release or ‘crack’ is simply the release of gas in the joint, much like when you open a can of soda.
