What Is That Popping Sound?
“I was always nervous about the cracking sound during an adjustment, but this video explained it so clearly and put me at ease. After experiencing it myself, I realized it’s completely normal and actually comes with a feeling of relief and better movement. It made me much more comfortable and confident with my care.”
