Lindsay M. Gorrell, Philip J. Conway & Walter Herzog Chiropractic & Manual Therapies volume 28, Article number: 67 (2020) Abstract Background Spinal manipulative therapy is an effective treatment for neck pain. However, the mechanisms underlying its clinical efficacy are not fully understood. Previous studies have not systematically compared force-time parameters and electromyographic responses associated with […]
JMPT. November–December, 2017 Volume 40, Issue 9, Pages 643–648 Bernard Van Geyt, MSc Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to assess individual subjective experience (ISE) of the recipients of a cervical manipulation and to analyze the influence of kinematics, cavitation occurrence, and practitioner seniority on individual experience. Methods Practitioners with different seniority (years […]
Joint Bone Spine. 2018 Mar;85(2):239-242. doi: 10.1016/j.jbspin.2017.04.006. Epub 2017 Apr 26. Demoulin C Abstract OBJECTIVES: To examine beliefs about cracking sounds heard during high-velocity low-amplitude (HVLA) thrust spinal manipulation in individuals with and without personal experience of this technique. METHODS: We included 100 individuals. Among them, 60 had no history of spinal manipulation, including 40 […]
Gregory N. Kawchuk, Abstract Cracking sounds emitted from human synovial joints have been attributed historically to the sudden collapse of a cavitation bubble formed as articular surfaces are separated. Unfortunately, bubble collapse as the source of joint cracking is inconsistent with many physical phenomena that define the joint cracking phenomenon. Here we present direct evidence […]
By Megan Thielkingmegan.thielking@vox.com Feb 17, 2015, 11:00am EST There’s a long-held myth that cracking your knuckles can give you arthritis. The sound definitely might cause the people around you to cringe, but what’s making those noises and is it actually bad for you? Is cracking your knuckles bad for you? You might wince when you […]
ULTRASOUND IMAGING OF THE TRAPEZIOMETACARPAL ARTICULAR CAVITY TO INVESTIGATE THE PRESENCE OF INTRAARTICULAR GAS BUBBLES AFTER CHIROPRACTIC MANIPULATION Allan R. Jones, MT Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the presence of intraarticular gas bubbles in the trapeziometacarpal joint cavity after chiropractic manipulation with audible cavitation and to assess the state of the […]

James Dunning BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders 2013, 14:24 Abstract Background The popping produced during high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) thrust manipulation is a common sound; however to our knowledge, no study has previously investigated the location of cavitation sounds during manipulation of the upper cervical spine. The primary purpose was to determine which side of the spine cavitates […]
