Why does a chiropractor crack your back?
The "Crack" is a sound caused by the cavitation of the synovial fluid in the joint being adjusted; same thing as when you "crack" you knuckle. You do not need the sound for an adjustment to take place, and if a region does "crack" it won't again for about 15 minutes. So the sound is an outcome of the adjustment to your subluxated (misaligned) segment. READ MORE
