Is going to the chiropractor to get adjustments bad for you? ever since i went to the chiropractor my joints crack easily. is cracking joints bad?

Not really: joint cracking is really just popping of air bubbles in the joint fluid and is not harmful as a single issue; however, you may want to skip some adjustments and see if this resolves by itself.

No: No, in general chiropractic treatment can be a good alternative for the initial treatment of musculoskeletal conditions like neck and back pain.
