What Is that Popping Sound During an Adjustment?
If you’ve ever received a chiropractic adjustment, you’ve likely heard that distinctive popping or cracking sound. While it may seem alarming, it’s actually a normal and expected part of the process.
The popping noise is caused by gas bubbles being released from the joints as they’re adjusted. When a joint is manipulated, it creates a change in pressure that allows these gas bubbles to escape. This release of gas is what creates the popping sound.
It’s important to note that the noise itself is not what provides relief. Rather, it’s the adjustment of the joint back into proper alignment that helps reduce pain and improve mobility. The popping is simply a byproduct of the adjustment.
While the sound may be startling at first, it’s generally nothing to worry about. So the next time you hear that pop, embrace it as a sign of progress.
How to Survive the Holiday Buffet Table
The festive season is a time of indulgence, and the buffet table can be a minefield for those watching their waistlines. However, with some planning and mindfulness, you can enjoy the festivities without compromising your health.
Start by surveying the spread and filling your plate with lean proteins, vegetables, and whole grains.
Limit portions of high-calorie, high-fat items like casseroles and desserts. Pace yourself and savor each bite, allowing your body to recognize when you’re full. Drink plenty of water and avoid sugary beverages.
Finally, don’t beat yourself up over a few indulgences, this time of year is meant to be enjoyed. With moderation and balance, you can navigate the buffet table while maintaining your health goals.
