Almost everyone has intentionally or unintentionally cracked a joint in the body. But why do joints actually get “cracked” from time to time, and is this healthy?
In this article, we explain why joints occasionally “crack,” whether this is good or bad for the body and go into more detail about neck cracking. Doing this because cracking is an important part of the care a chiropractor can offer you.
Almost all joints in the body do make sounds, whether they make noise by snapping or creaking.
When the joint makes a creaking sound, it is usually because structures in the joint are sliding over each other. These can be different structures, namely bones, tendons or cartilage. Crackling sounds are usually not harmful to the body or to the joint.
If cracking is accompanied by pain or stiffness of the joint, it is wise to contact a chiropractor or family doctor.
The reason this article focuses mainly on the neck is because the neck is a part of the spine. The neck is the connecting piece between the head and the rest of the body. Hier lopen bloedvaten doorheen die onder andere de hersenen van bloed voorzien.
There are also nerves in the neck that connect the brain and the rest of the body. The consequences can be very serious if something happens in the region of the neck.
If you crack your neck too much or if you do not crack the neck properly, it can be harmful to the body. As a result, the nerves in the neck may become pinched and this can cause pain. In addition, in the long run, it can cause a lot of stiffness and less mobility of the neck.
If you do not crack the neck too often or too forcefully, it is not harmful and sometimes cracking the neck can feel like a relief because the neck becomes more mobile after cracking.
When you suffer from neck pain, treatment at a chiropractor may be the solution. The chiropractor may then crack the neck. The chiropractor is very knowledgeable about the body and knows exactly where the nerves in the neck run. This allows a chiropractor to safely crack your neck.
This can cause blockages of the nerves in the neck to be relieved, reducing your discomfort in the neck and possibly the rest of the body. By receiving treatment from the chiropractor, the body can get into a state where it can repair itself.
