What makes the popping sound while getting an adjustment?

When you visit our office for an adjustment to help cure your back pain and you hear a large popping noise, do you ever wonder what that is? We want to let you know that that noise is perfectly normal! The popping sound when you get adjusted is called cavitation, and is exactly the same thing that happens when you crack your knuckles.

 

During a back adjustment, your back undergoes quick, gentle stretching of the spinal joint, so you may hear a cracking or popping noise. This is caused by small pockets of air or bubbles, which are in the fluid that surrounds your joints known as synovial fluid. When joint tissues are stretched during a chiropractic adjustment, the pockets of air "pop," which creates that cracking sound you hear.

 

Now, not every adjustment results in a popping sound, in fact some chiropractic adjusting techniques never cavitate the joint. But if your adjustments results in a cavitation, know that it’s perfectly normal!

Chiropractic Care in the Military

Chronic, physical pain resulting from serious trauma affects thousands of soldiers and veterans every day.  In many cases, the pain interferes with normal function and the ability to perform daily duties. While many may turn to pain pills to try and alleviate the pain, those seeking a holistic, drug free approach are turning to chiropractic care and are seeing great results.

 

Studies have shown that the nature of a military member’s job puts them at an increased risk for developing chronic pain. The regular demands and stress of the job are often multiplied during combat, especially when it’s difficult to find proper medical attention. Cumulative stress, single-event trauma and surgery all contribute to the development of chronic pain. The good news is that military members and veterans are turning to chiropractic care. Studies also indicate that military personnel take advantage of chiropractic services up to seven times more than civilians.

 

One of the main reasons military members turn to chiropractic care is due to high painkiller use and abuse amongst active military and veterans. These painkillers have proven to be extremely addictive and often come with serious side-effects.

Subluxation

The spine consists of 24 vertebrae—seven cervical, 12 thoracic and five lumbar—and if any one of these become misaligned or moves out of its normal position, it is called a subluxation. These subluxations can be caused by a wide variety of factors, including minor slips or bumps, car accidents or sudden trauma. Once a subluxation forms, it can put pressure on nerves, blood vessels and everything around it, which interrupts the natural pathways the nervous system uses to send messages between the brain and the rest of the body.

 

If a subluxation goes untreated, the spine and surrounding features, such as discs, can actually begin to degenerate, which becomes more difficult to reverse as surrounding muscles, nerves and bones adjust to the new shape. As this happens, the body will accommodate these structural changes by compensating in other areas. Compensation can lead to more injuries and ailments throughout your body.

 

Regular chiropractic treatment at our office with Dr. Christopher Brill in Newport News, VA is an effective treatment for subluxation. By utilizing his hands, he can adjust your spine with quick movements to move the vertebrae back into place and remove the interference from you body’s natural healing ability. The process is without discomfort.

Nutrition

While good nutrition is the most natural way to give your body what it needs, your body isn’t always clear in specifying what it needs.  Too much of one chemical, not enough of one vitamin, a wrong combination of the right nutrients can amount to a number of complications that range from stubborn weight loss and fatigue, to insomnia and poor immune function.

 

That’s why it’s important to consider nutrition when healing or prevention common ailments. Here at Therapeutic Solutions LLC, nutrition is one of the methods we utilize to help you get and stay well, including the increasingly popular and effective paleo diet.

 

If you’ve been searching for a path to better health and wellness through nutrition and other natural treatment, contact us and schedule a consultation.  We’ll be happy to answer all of your questions and set up a wellness plan that works for you.
