If you have never before received a chiropractic adjustment, there may be a mystery as to what to expect from your first visit. Some people delay receiving their first adjustment due to a misperception regarding the comfort level involved. Some folks just cannot tolerate the “cracking” sound and they are apprehensive to see the chiropractor because they do not want their bones to be cracked. It is important to know that the primary function of chiropractic adjustments are to release stress in the spine and soft-tissue in order to restore full function of the joints and nervous system. The cracking sound is generally a bi product of air and gasses escaping in the release of tension. It is also not necessary to hear cracking or popping sounds, and there are various techniques that Dr. DiSabatino utilizes to release stress in the body that do not involve cracking or popping sounds associated with standard adjustments. (Please be sure to ask Dr. DiSabatino about low-force chiropractic adjustments. Dr. DiSabatino has been practicing low force chiropractic adjustments in San Diego for many years, and enjoys amazing success in releasing physiological stress and restoring health through application of low force chiropractic methods.)
