A member asked:
Does the popping of the spine and joints by a chiropractor promote healing? or is it just a way to temporarily relieve pain? how does popping it help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Popping of the spine happens 4 many reasons. Mostly it just does. If u lie on the floor ; have someone put pressure on ur spine u will usually feel a popping. It has no therapeutic value.
