How are Chiropractors trained and Regulated?

In Australia, chiropractors undergo extensive training and must meet strict regulatory standards to practice.

• Programs are accredited by Australian universities and meet national healthcare standards.
• All chiropractors in Australia must be registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).

What Is the ‘Cracking’ Sound During a Chiropractic Adjustment?

The ‘cracking’ or ‘popping’ sound you hear during a chiropractic adjustment is called cavitation. This occurs when gas bubbles in the synovial fluid of your joints rapidly change pressure, similar to when you crack your knuckles.

Do Chiropractic adjustments hurt?

For most people, chiropractic adjustments are not painful. Many patients feel relief and improved mobility immediately after an adjustment.
