Why do joints pop during chiropractic adjustments?

Why do joints pop during chiropractic adjustments?

You may hear a popping or cracking sound during your chiropractic adjustment. This sound is completely normal and occurs due to a sudden release of gas bubbles in the joint fluid. The gas bubbles form when the pressure within the joint changes, such as when you crack your knuckles – or when our Momentum Health chiropractors manipulate or adjust your joints.
