Can a person (even if he is a chiropractor) adjust
himself?
The truth about the popping sound...
The "pop" that you hear when
you move is caused by the gushing in of air from the movement of the joints. This can trigger release of
endorphins (or feel-good hormones) which make us actually "feel good" for a very short period of time.
Aside from that, this "pop" doesnt do
your body any good. And if your spine continue to be misaligned, your spine will keep on "popping" everytime you
move or stretch.
Stretching exercises are good for the
spine. In fact, the more you can stretch your spine, the healthier it will be. An example of this is yoga (not only
does it stretch your spine, but also it will make you feel better generally). However, if the vertebrae are not
moving well, you may suffer pain while performing some stretches. This pain is caused by interference of a nerve
when your spine is subluxated (or misaligned).
Imagine a small pebble getting stuck
on your shoe while you are mountain climbing. If you dont remove it, at first, it would just cause a slight
discomfort on your foot. Then you would start to feel some pain while blister develops and so you
try to shift your weight on your other foot. Then after a while, it's not only your foot that hurts. Also your
ankle and your back!
This can be compared to the nerve
interference in your back. If not corrected by a chiropractor, it can only get worse. Only your chiropractor knows
the exact technique and force necessary to correct your nerve interference and spinal misalignments. If you or a
well meaning friend try to play around with spinal manipulation, you may cause real harm.
And if you ask a chiropractor if he can adjust himself? You
will get a big NO answer! Even chiropractors go to their colleagues to
get spinal care because they know that IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO CORRECT SPINAL SUBLUXATIONS THROUGH
SELF-ADJUSTMENT.
And!!! For you,

chiropractic can help you today!
