Why does my back crack so much during an adjustment?

When you are getting adjusted, you will hear a popping sound. That is simply the same noise you hear when you crack your knuckles. The sound itself DOES NOT signify that the adjustment was “good.” Proper chiropractic adjustments are a result of proper line of drive and direction of the fixated structures at issue. The sound is associated with it and most people think the adjustment wasn’t effective if they don’t hear that sound. This is false.
However, when you get adjusted, you may get a slight euphoric feeling at first, which is the release of endorphins and enkephalins into your bloodstream. You also can be followed by soreness later that day if it’s not a regular occurrence for you.

A chiropractor most definitely would help your son with posture issues. Find a chiropractor in your area with a good reputation and he should be able to address the issues fairly easy with adjustments and at home stretches. Following those instructions is very important because with your son only being seven years old his growth plates are open until he’s roughly 18 so he has plenty of time to help change many issues.
