Part 5/8:
The Mechanics and Misunderstandings of Chiropractic
A significant part of the appeal of chiropractic treatments comes from the dramatic bone-cracking sounds that are often documenting and gaining traction on social media. Dr. Kanan explained that while many people find relief from the sounds produced during adjustments, these crackling noises do not necessarily mean that the spine is being realigned or treated effectively.
He expressed skepticism about the various claims made by chiropractors, particularly the assertion that spinal alignment could cure a plethora of diseases. In essence, while manipulation might provide temporary relief, there is no guarantee that underlying issues are being adequately addressed.
