MYTH

“Chiropractic treatment involves “cracking” my back.”

FACT

One part of chiropractic treatment does involve applying quick, precise, skilful pressure to a joint which creates a cracking or popping sound. The sound originates in the release of a gas bubble in the joint. This is called an “adjustment”

MYTH

“It can’t be right to use pressure on my spine.”

FACT

The adjustment does not involve a great deal of force. Skill, positioning, speed, and timing are more important than force.

MYTH

“I heard that cracking your joints can cause arthritis.”

FACT

There is no reason to believe there is any connection. In fact, an adjustment increases mobility, reduces pressure on the joints and nerves, and allows the spine and joints to return to more normal alignment, position and flexibility.
