What Causes the Popping Sound During a Chiropractic Adjustment?

Have you ever heard a popping or cracking sound during a chiropractic adjustment and wondered whether something was breaking? In this episode, Stone Lake Chiropractic explains why that sound is usually a normal process called cavitation. Learn how changes in joint pressure can release small gas bubbles, why some adjustments make no sound at all, and what patients may experience during care. We also discuss how chiropractic adjustments are designed to support joint mobility, reduce tension and stiffness, improve posture, and promote better overall function.
