We’ve all heard the old tale about cracking your knuckles and arthritis, but what about your neck, back and all the other parts of you that crack and pop?

• Is there actually a connection to arthritis?
• Why do chiropractors and other manual practitioners pop or “adjust” your back or neck?
• What about shoulders, hips, and knees that pop on their own? Is that good or bad?
• Does any of this relate to overall joint health?

Dr. Jordan Shallow is a chiropractor and competitive powerlifter. He helps us sort through these questions, and he gives some good guidelines on what to look for in a good practitioner.

Our ideas start at about 15:00.

Jordan joins starting at around 24:00.
