Yes! Hearing or feeling a popping sound during a chiropractic adjustment is completely normal. This sound, called cavitation, happens when gas bubbles in your joints release as we gently realign your spine. It’s similar to the sound you hear when cracking your knuckles. The adjustment itself is not breaking or damaging anything—it’s simply restoring movement to restricted joints, which can help relieve pain, improve mobility, and support overall wellness.
At Real Life Chiropractic, we focus on safe, effective, and homeopathic care to help your body function at its best. Dr. Patterson, a trusted SLC Chiropractor, uses precise techniques to ensure adjustments are both comfortable and beneficial. Some patients feel instant relief, while others experience gradual improvement over time. If you ever have concerns about the sounds or sensations during an adjustment, we are happy to explain everything in detail.
If you’re dealing with back pain, stiffness, or discomfort, chiropractic care can help. Our goal is to support your healing naturally and provide expert care in a welcoming environment. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Patterson today and experience the benefits of chiropractic care firsthand!
