How to stop joints from cracking during exercise of yoga

What happens when criminals break your knuckles?

The joint's "knock" sound occurs for the same reason a champagne cork pops.

Champagne is a liquid that contains a lot of gas dissolved in it. A gas will dissolve in a liquid only because it condenses under pressure. After pulling the stopper and releasing the pressure, the sound is emitted as the dissolved gas escapes from the solution.

The joint also contains fluid - synovial fluid - which is the dense lining of the ligaments and joint capsule. Like all body tissues, the synovial fluid contains dissolved gases. These gases are taken from the air we breathe - mainly oxygen and nitrogen.

One of the effects of a chiropractic adjustment can open the joint space. The adjustment relieves the pressure in the joint and, like a bottle of champagne, the gas settles out of the solution and makes a popping sound.

An X-ray taken immediately after repair will show a small pocket in this gas-filled joint.

The technical term for the sound that occurs with adjustment is crepitus.

What happens to oxygen and nitrogen after they form a pocket in the shared space?

The gas will slowly dissolve back into the surrounding liquid over the next twenty minutes.

The gas continues to create space in the joint until it is completely absorbed. This phenomenon prolongs the healing action of correction by more minutes than the moment of correction.

Is crepitus a good thing?

Yes.

If done skillfully by a chiropractor, the sound produced by the adjustment is considered a useful response to treatment.

Should the adjustment make crepitus effective?

No. Correction occurs when making more than one joint. There are many other ways to improve the joint performance of the correction. Possible beneficial effects include adjustments to:

increase the space gradually rather than all at once

remove the limitation of joint play without increasing the total area of ​​the joint

generate new feedback from nerve receptors in the joint

What aspects of chiropractic procedures tend to cause acne?

Providing chiropractic adjustment requires a high degree of technical skill and experience.

Para-physiological motion and speed are two key features of the correction technique that make it possible to produce a rash.

Para-physiological movement refers to joint movement in the direction designed but not achieved by the body's own muscle control system.

For example, you can pull the tip of your finger (and make crepitus). By pulling on the end of your finger, you have moved the little finger bone slightly. Your finger joints are physiologically designed for this movement. But that never happens with muscle activation in your arms.

The speed of correction is also essential. Some chiropractors believe that speed is the most important feature of an adjustment. There are two main reasons why speed is essential:

eliminate the body's reflex muscle tone that may oppose correction

This allows the force of movement (like all body parts) to be transferred directly to the joint instead of through the fluid that floats there.
