Wisdom from Chiro 101: Adjustment Safety

Are Chiropractic Adjustments Safe and What is the Popping Sound?

Whether you're a seasoned chiropractic patient or new to the world of holistic health, this workshop recap of our recent workshop, “Chiro 101: Adjustment Safety,” gets into all your FAQs.

The Mystery of the "Pop"

One of the most common questions we hear is about the "popping" sound during an adjustment.

Dr. Nate explained that this sound is not the result of bones cracking or tendons snapping, as some might think. Instead, it's the release of gas bubbles from the joint fluid when pressure is applied. This process is entirely natural and safe, and research has debunked the myth that it leads to arthritis. In fact, keeping joints moving is crucial for preventing stiffness and promoting overall health.

Safety First: The Low Risks of Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care is often misunderstood, with concerns about its safety. 

The truth? Chiropractic adjustments are incredibly safe. The risk of serious injury is extremely low—you're ten times more likely to be in a car accident on your way to our office than to experience a severe issue from an adjustment. 

Most patients report high satisfaction with chiropractic care, often due to the personal touch and attentive listening they receive.

The Risks of Doing Nothing

In the U.S., we consume 50% of the world's drugs, yet we rank 79th in healthcare outcomes. This statistic underscores the importance of proactive health management. Ignoring issues or relying solely on medication can lead to more significant problems down the road. 

Chiropractic care offers a natural, effective alternative that focuses on aligning the body and promoting self-healing.

Active Participation in Your Health

While reactive care, like adjustments and massages, can provide immediate relief, long-term success comes from engaging in proactive care. This means incorporating exercises, lifestyle changes, and regular chiropractic visits into your routine. 

Remember, 40% of your success comes from what you do outside our office!
