Neck Pain FAQs
What happens when a chiropractor “cracks” your neck?
When a chiropractor adjusts or “cracks” your neck, they’re improving the movement between segments of the neck. They find the area that is restricted and adjust them to allow them all to move more efficiently. The popping sound that can sometimes accompany an adjustment is simply gases being released from the joint capsule.
How does a chiropractor adjust your neck?
Neck adjustments are done using a high velocity, low amplitude thrust to the cervical spine. This is simply a fast but shallow force applied to the joints.
What does a chiropractor do for neck pain?
If you see a chiropractor for neck pain, the first thing they’ll do is assess your pain and figure out the root cause of the pain. The root cause could be joint restrictions in the spine, problems with the muscles, spasms, or other issues. After diagnosing the issue, they will be able to treat your immediate neck pain and underlying issue using some combination of myofascial release, adjusting, and strengthening and stretching exercises.
