Trauma to soft tissues causes micro-tears in the muscles. In turn, the muscles constrict (shorten) to minimize their movement by immobilizing nearest joint. Joints don’t get much blood supply, because if blood vessels would run through the joint, they would get crushed each time the joint would close. This includes the intervertebral disc spaces. Most joints get their nutrients via synovial sacs. Synovial fluid is basically filtered blood. It’s more permeable when there’s negative pressure in the joint (when the joint opens). Since the injured muscles are limiting joint motion, the structures within the joint start to atrophy due to decreased nutrient supply (use it or lose it). Try sitting completely still for 5 minutes. It’s very difficult and unpleasant. Your joints need motion. The Chiropractor adjusts the fixated joint. When you hear or feel that pop, it means that the joint opened up and released some gas bubbles from the synovial sac.

Chiropractic is a licensed health care profession that emphasizes the body's ability to heal itself. Treatment typically involves manual therapy, often including spinal manipulation. Other forms of treatment, such as exercise and nutritional counseling, may be used as well.

A chiropractor will use a variety of tests to diagnose the spine. The most common test is called a spinal exam. The doctor will ask the patient to lie on their back, bend their knees and then extend one leg out straight. The doctor will then use his or her hands to feel for any abnormal areas in the spine. They may also ask the patient to bend forward or backward and touch their toes, which can help identify issues with the spine as well. If there are any abnormalities in the spine, they may also perform other tests such as X-rays or MRIs. They may also order blood work to check for things like anemia and vitamin deficiencies that could contribute to pain in the back or neck.
