✨ What’s the “pop” during a chiropractic adjustment?
One of the most common questions we get!
That popping sound isn’t bones cracking. It’s simply the release of gas within the joint as movement is restored.
Think of it like opening a bottle of sparkling water—the sound comes from pressure being released.
Not every adjustment creates a pop, and a successful adjustment doesn’t depend on hearing one. The goal is always improved movement, function and nervous system communication.
At Aligned Family Chiropractic, we’re focused on helping your body move and function at its best—whether you hear a pop or not. 🤎
