If you’ve never had an adjustment, it’s natural to wonder what it involves. Dr. Richard walks through it, starting with the part everyone asks about: the pop.

What Dr. Richard covers

  • What the popping sound is (a release of pressure in the joint, like your ears popping on a plane) and why it doesn’t happen with every adjustment
  • How we find the areas of the spine that are stuck or misaligned
  • What the adjustment does to improve alignment and how the spine moves
  • Why better spinal movement matters for how you feel day to day
