Dr. Crum Asks some important questions of interest to Boardman residents - Chiropractor Boardman Dr. Crum Asks...

What's the difference between a "good" drug and a "bad" drug?
As a chiropractor, I see the use of many drugs (legal or illegal) as merely symptom treating. Worse, virtually every drug produces unwanted effects. The effects of chiropractic are largely positive effects. If you're a Boardman parent, consider carefully before giving your child a cough medication, cold remedy or pain reliever so this sort of question doesn't arise in the first place.
Why do so many drugs require a prescription?
Because they can be dangerous? I chose a chiropractic career specifically because it avoids artificial means of pain relief. Our Boardman chiropractic practice attracts health-conscious families that prefer a safe and natural solution. Ready to get started? Call our office today.

Popping Sound

Some chiropractic adjusting techniques produce a popping sound.

The sound is created by something called “joint cavitation.” It’s a fancy name for the release of pressure in the fluids surrounding a joint that often accompanies many types of chiropractic adjustments.

Pressure Release

The popping sound created when opening a bottle of champagne has a lot in common with the cavitation sound. When the cork is removed and pressure is released, the characteristic little champagne bubbles can be seen. Similarly, when joint pressure is released, it is thought that gas in the fluid of a joint shifts, making the sound.

• The sound may be interesting, but it isn’t important.
• It isn’t related to the effectiveness of the adjustment.
• Many adjusting techniques don’t create the sound.

Sound or no sound, chiropractic works by reducing nervous system disturbances caused by malfunctioning spinal joints.
