Chiropractic is considered to be a safe and effective form of healthcare. Like anything in the medical field, there are risks associated with care. But research shows you are more likely to be seriously injured driving to the chiropractor than from the chiropractic treatment itself.

For a lot of cases, this is a realistic expectation. It may take more than one adjustment to completely alleviate back pain, but it doesn’t always take weeks or months to heal. Give chiropractic a try and see for yourself!

The popping sound you hear during an adjustment is something called a cavitation. Cavitations are when gas bubbles in our joints release gases, which cause that popping noise. This is not dangerous at all, it does not cause arthritis, and can be done, on average, every 7 minutes!

This is not recommended. Some people feel that they can “pop” themselves, but this can be dangerous. The popping noise by itself does not mean that a joint was adjusted. It just means that a gas bubble released gas. Chiropractic is a specific skillset for trained professionals and should be left to chiropractors.
