Why does my back crack so much during an adjustment?
Gases are escaping from the joint spaces that are opened up during an adjustment. The release of the gas tends to sound like a “cracking” noise. It is not the actual adjustment, and will take 20 minutes for the joint to refill with the gases again before another sound can be made from the same joint. When the noise is heard, though, studies have found that people get an endorphin (pain reducing hormone) release that decreases pain for up to 5 minutes. It is the same noise associated when people “crack” their knuckles. READ MORE
