Cracking Back Youtube
The INSIDER Summary:
- Chiropractors are uploading videos of their joint-cracking treatments onto YouTube.
- People who love cracking their own joints will love watching them.
- The best, most satisfying cracks are the loudest ones.
Joint cracking — like pimple popping — is a divisive bodily function. Some people are nauseated by the mere thought of knuckle cracking, for instance. But other people aren't bothered by it in the slightest — they may even habitually crack their own joints.
And some people love it so much that they watch videos of other people getting their joints cracked.
I have severe lower back stiffness and popping and cracking noises, if I turn sharply when driving or even when laying in bed if I reach to get something off my nightstand I hear what sounds like thousands of popping and cracking bones!
Welcome to the wide, strange, crackling world of YouTube chiropractic adjustment videos.
A chiropractic adjustment is a procedure in which a chiropractor uses his or her hands to apply a burst of controlled force to one of the joints in your spine. The common result is an audible crack or pop — and the idea is that adjustment can correct your joint alignment and improve your body's function.
Over the past few years, many chiropractors have started to share videos of these treatments on YouTube, serving an audience eager to hear the release of joints cracking. As of this writing a search for 'chiropractic' on YouTube turns up just over 900,000 videos, many of which have millions of views.
It's tough to describe exactly what makes these videos so satisfying to fans. The best way to understand it is to watch a few yourself.

- Cracking joints (also called joint cavitations) often feels good because it can release tension and increase the range of motion. Cracking or releasing the spinal joints of your back is usually safe if done in a controlled manner and within the normal planes of motion of the spine.
- But whether or not you find the practice irritating, is cracking your knuckles bad for you? And what about cracking the rest of your joints, like when you do some back cracking or joint popping in the mornings — are you destined to get arthritis or are the “dangers” just an old wives tale? Let’s give this one a crack.

Feeling inspired to see a chiropractor about your own joints? You should know that chiropractic care is controversial. Some experts say seeing a chiropractor might be a waste of money, since the quality of treatment can vary dramatically from provider to provider. There's also risk for serious complications, like worsening of pain or even stroke. But some doctors support it as a potential treatment because evidence shows that it may be beneficial for certain types of pain.
