Why does my back crack so much during an adjustment?
Your spinal joints contain "grease" known as synovial fluid. This grease contains dissolved gases. When your spine is adjusted, the spinal joints are gapped or opened, creating a vacuum within the joint. This vacuum pulls the gases out of the grease, turning the grease to foam. This release of gas is what creates the audible "pop". If there is no "popping" sound, it does not mean the adjustment was not successful, it simply means that there was no sound from the escaping gas. That sound is not your spine "cracking" or "popping" like most people think. That sound is created by gas (in this case, nitrogen) rushing in to fill the partial vacuum created when the joints are slightly separated. Another example of this phenomenon would be the "pop" sound you hear when the cork is taken out of a champagne bottle. Not all chiropractic adjusting techniques produce this noise. In fact, some adjusting techniques use little force and thus produce no noise at all. READ MORE
Very tight neck
Yes, chiropractic can help a lot with aberrant movement. I tell patients all the time structure governs function. When your structure fails, your function will fail. We treat the structure and then we refer to our in-house physical therapy or if you would like, outside physical therapy to help with muscle function and rehab to create a lasting change. READ MORE
