Question 7

What is the sound that I hear when I get adjusted?

Accepted Answer

The sound you sometimes hear during an adjustment is due to a process called "cavitation" which is simply the release of gas bubbles from the joint during the adjustment. This sound is completely normal and often resembles a light "pop" or "crack". While the sound can be common during chiropractic adjustments, it's simply an incidental result of the adjustment process and the absence of this sound does not indicate a less successful adjustment.
