Q: Is it true that there’s a popping sound during an adjustment?
A: Yes, this harmless popping sound occurs when gas bubbles in the fluid
surrounding the joint are released during the procedure. Have you ever
cracked your knuckles? It’s the same thing.

Q What happens when you have a chiropractic adjustment?
A After identifying your condition via examination and testing, and
determining that spinal adjustment is the best treatment for you,
your DC will position your body so that only the affected area is isolated.
Next, your DC will manipulate the joint, freeing it from its “stuck”
position. In restoring the joint’s natural movement, inflammation and pain are
reduced and your tissues begin to heal.

You should not have chiropractic adjustment if you have:
• a fracture
• cancer of the bone or bone marrow
• severe spinal osteoporosis
• tuberculosis of the spine
• a disease of the spinal cord
• severe arthritis
• an infection in your bone or joint
• acute gout
• compression of your spinal cord or cauda equina (nerve roots at the end of your spine)
• uncontrolled diabetic neuropathy
• a bleeding disorder
• pain down your leg or arm with increasing weakness, difficulty walking and bowel or bladder control problems
Prior to treatment, your DC will take a detailed medical history. It’s important to give thorough answers, even if you’re not sure a
health condition has any bearing on your chiropractic therapy. This will enable your DC to rule out treatments that aren’t
appropriate for you.

What is chiropractic adjustment?
Chiropractic adjustment, also called spinal manipulation, is a procedure
used by DCs to correct misalignments of the vertebrae of your spine.
Untreated, these misalignments can interfere with neurological
communication between your brain, tissues and organs.

10 signs that you should see your chiropractor

physical tasks.
3. An injury to a muscle, joint or spine hasn’t healed with initial medical

“What does a chiropractor do?”
Q I don’t know much about chiropractors. What do they do?
A Doctors of Chiropractic are health care professionals who specialize in musculoskeletal and nervous system conditions and the impact they have on a person’s overall health. Emphasis is placed on alleviating pain in the back, neck, joints and headaches—and correcting conditions that cause this pain.
Q What kind of training do chiropractors have?
A The rigorous educational requirements for chiropractors are similar to the requirements for your family doctor.
Doctor of
Chiropractic (DC) Medical Doctor (MD)
Average Chiropractic or
Medical Program Length 4 years 4 years
Average Classroom and
Clinical Study Hours 4,820 4,670
Typical Program Content
Years 1 and 2 are very similar
to MD. Years 3 and 4, greater emphasis is
placed on biomechanics, radiology,
adjustments and natural medicine.
Years 1 and 2 are very similar to DC.
Years 3 and 4, greater emphasis is
placed on immunology,
pharmacology and surgery.
Q How are chiropractors licensed?
A Like most other health care practitioners, chiropractors are licensed at the state level, by a state board of chiropractic examiners. Most states also require DCs to complete a number of hours of continuing education each year to maintain their licenses.
Q What are the advantages of chiropractic?
A Chiropractic is non-invasive, unlike procedures such as surgery. Drugs, particularly addictive painkillers, aren’t part of the practice. Normally, the cost of treatment is far lower. And often, people who have run out of other medical options find chiropractic provides relief.
Q Is chiropractic safe?
A No form of medical treatment is totally without risk. Because it’s drug-free and noninvasive, however, chiropractic an exceptional safety record.
