Whats that popping sound when Im adjusted?
The popping sound, also known as cavitation, is caused by the release of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide as an adjustment occurs. When this happens there is a release in joint pressure relieving the area and permitting the joint and nerve impulse to function better. While this sound may be desired by some patients, it isn’t a guide to the quality or value of the adjustment. Some adjusting techniques create no sound at all while others sound as if the walls are coming down.
