Description

Have you ever wondered what that crack sound is when you get adjusted? Is it your bones shifting? (Hint: It's not!)

In this episode of The Health Commute, we break down the science behind chiropractic adjustments, explaining what actually happens inside your joints when you hear that pop. We discuss the role of cavitation, joint function, and nervous system health, plus why some adjustments don't make a sound at all. We also tackle common myths like "cracking your own back is the same thing" and "once you start chiropractic care, you're stuck forever."

Tune in to learn why spinal adjustments are about more than just the noise—they're about improving movement, reducing stiffness, and optimizing nervous system function.
