Inside your joints, there’s a fluid called synovial fluid, which helps keep everything moving smoothly. This fluid contains tiny gas bubbles made up of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. When an adjustment is performed, the quick stretch changes the pressure inside the joint, causing these gas bubbles to form and collapse in a process called cavitation. That’s what creates the popping sound—not your bones shifting or cracking!
Even if you don’t hear a pop, an adjustment can still be effective. The real goal is to restore movement, reduce tension, and support your nervous system. So next time you get adjusted, you’ll know that sound is just a little bit of science doing its job!
