This is a common question from people attending the clinic and often there is the misconception its the actual bones cracking and popping, the following is a simple description-
The spine consists of vertebras seperated by discs and enclosed in a membrane that contains fluid, when a manipulation is performed by an osteopath there is a mobilising of the joint creating a cavitation, the gases within the joint change with the pressure which gives a popping sound relieving some of pressure in the joint and restoring its movement.
Restoring movement and function is the aim of your osteopath and the to help you keep your body moving looking at your lifestyle including posture and rehabilitation.
If you have any other questions call your osteopath
