Chiropractic treatment includes Chiropractic Adjustments aka Spinal Manipulations. There are many different techniques some of which create a “popping sound” in the joint when it is released. That sound is caused by a pressure change in the fluid of the joint called Cavitation. It is the same phenomena that you hear when you pop your knuckles. Generally if feels very good with immediate release of tension. Sometimes there may be a slight pain for just a moment that quickly goes away. Not all Manipulation techniques create the popping sound. Dr. Beech utilizes many methods of Manipulation which can be individually tailored to your needs.
