Frequently asked questions
Is the cracking sound during an adjustment dangerous?
The sound is simply the release of gas from the joint and, when performed by a qualified practitioner, it is safe. It is not the bone slipping out of place.
What is the difference between chiropractic and osteopathy?
Both are manual therapies. Chiropractic focuses more on adjustments to the spine and joints; osteopathy takes a more whole-body approach, including muscles, fascia, and organs.
