392 | What is a joint adjustment or joint manipulation? Is it putting me back in place?
In this episode of the Optimal Body Podcast, hosts Doc Jen and Doctor Dom, both doctors of physical therapy, explore the phenomenon of joint adjustment, often associated with the sounds of "snap, crackle, and pop." They explain the science behind these sounds, emphasizing that they result from pressure changes and gas release in the joints, not bones being realigned through a joint adjustment. The hosts stress that while a joint adjustment can provide temporary relief, long-term pain management requires understanding the body's mechanics, incorporating stability and strength training, and adopting self-care strategies. They encourage listeners to seek education, progressive exercise and empowerment for lasting health improvements.
