The “pop” or “crack” that you hear during an adjustment is simply a release of gas in the joint space being corrected.

Some chiropractic adjusting techniques cause an audible noise that people refer to as the pop or crack. It is not a cracking or popping of bones. Chiropractors do not crack people bones. They adjust vertebra of the spine. This sound is actually created by a vacuum effect within the spinal joint due to the equalization of gases. The equalization of gases and pressure as a result creates this noise.
