Why do chiropractors crack your toes?
Could be for 2 reasons to adjust toes and the 3 major foot joints. 1. An injured or jammed toe with fracture ruled out 2. An active patient or endurance athlete that needs their joints to stay as mobile as possible. Endurance athletes tend to create more joint restrictions due to impact. Hope this helps READ MORE
How do you feel after chiropractic adjustment?

How does a chiropractor adjust your SI joint?
There are many techniques chiropractors have in manipulating the sacroiliac “SI” joint. Generally, at your age, the goal would be to keep that joint mobile and your legs even. There are also different grades (1-5) in mobilizing joints. “Side posture” would be the most common adjustment along with a patient on their stomach and light pressure to the joint posterior to anterior. If you are really flared up and in severe pain, my advice would be to calm the area down first before adjusting. READ MORE
