eli5 chiropractor adjustments

88 viewsBiologyOther

i’m sure most of ya’ll have seen those videos where chiros crack peoples entire bodies calling them “chiropractor adjustments”

but.. are they really beneficial and get rid of the pain? because isn’t the popping noise essentially just nitrogen bubbles popping?

does it actually relieve the pain or is it just placebo?

It’s just a placebo. The field started as complete quackery although some modern chiropractors do try to take a more rigorous approach. Still, there’s no the adjustments themselves provide any benefit although some benefit may come from the tissue massaging.
