This is a great video John. I think the reason why it’s so good is it shows the human element of applying some techniques and the concern not to have hurt the person in any way. I imagine so many medical professionals battle with this at times
I'm glad this is a real reaction to having extreme pain and being stuck and stuff. I hate all that laughing after and the chiropractor acting like they were in all this pain. I'm the same way as her.
Thanks for the message and yes she does have a stiff neck - multi level disc pathology from the MRI scan - even though she is hyper mobile in other areas of her body, regards JG
Exactly the term used when I went to have my 1st adjustment a couple of weeks ago. I have a shunt tho, so she didn't do the neck. Any remedies for someone in my situation? The body work she did was marvelous, however in order for me to get the relief I truly need...I'm gone have to get some action on my neck. Please help your reel friend from Houston Tx ❤️
I apologise my advice is a week late but if you're still up for it, I was always told what you do to one side, you do to the other. So maybe give that a try and see what happens. Good luck mate.
@@parentalguidancerecommended251 Thanks for the advice. I tried it on her right now but I think it was just too late. Still no movement. When I first did it the other week, there was a loud pop and she stopped breathing & there was no pulse. But I'm not a doctor so I couldn't really determine if she was actually dead or not

@@MK-cf1rm so far I've had my neck adjusted by 2 different chiropractors as well as my spine aligned and it has helped me tremedously with my shoulder and back pain. My panel doctors only prescibed pain killers and muscle relaxants which my colleagues say don't really work. For me, I rather pay out of my own pocket to go to chiro.... Most of the time, just one session and the pain will be gone. If it is real bad, then maybe 2 sessions. But of course the effect is not forever but last from few weeks to few months. I believe those who encountered complications may already have a preexisting condition that they are not aware off. That is why an xray will be helpful.
Yin Teing yeah ive been to a chiropractor for my neck a couple of times and it really helped but now im scared to go back after reading all these horror stores and unfortunately jn my country they dont let you get an x ray especially not bc you’re goinf to chiropractor bc they kinda look down on it
@@MK-cf1rm actually my mom was a nurse all her life. So over the years, I have heard horror stories happening in hospitals. Patient come in healthy and alive and leaving in a casket. Just that these are better covered up or there are 'explanations' whereas for chiros who have high success rates in pain management... Just one or two cases will get highlighted out of proportion. Many may not agree with me, but from stuff I have seen or heard all these years, I just feel if the person is in a danger time of his life, even if he comsults with the best doctor or any healer he will meet with complication. There is just a whole new spiritual dimension to illness which is not being talked about. Regardless of mode of treatment you choose, you gotta have faith in the person who is treating you. In chiro adjustment, it is important to relax and not worry as it would sniffen your muscles. I am by nature quite a tensed person and if I can do it too, I am sure you can. I do it because I want to get well and I am sure you would wanna be well too.
The potential for injury in these kinds of neck adjustments is significant. I went to a chiropractor ( grad of Palmer Chiropractic ) for a sore popping hip from yoga class. Was teaching full time, great health, age 49. Bed ridden 1 year after neck adjustment. Never fully recovered. Be aware : people with even mild scoliosis may have smaller than normal cervical foramina. ( Source : Scoliosis and Spinal Pain Syndrome, Dr. Valentyn Serdyuk, orthopedic surgeon / researcher Odessa University. ) So, there is danger of dissecting the vertebral artery. Also, people with undiagnosed Ehlers Danlos may not respond in predictable ways. Plus, the real problem may be with sacral / ilia stability - especially for women. DON’T do this neck high velocity, thrusting. I have never totally recovered - 22 years later.
@LEONARDO HARNANDAN Thank you for your kind comment. The entire medical community needs to be educated on how the musculoskeletal and central nervous system interface for normal function. And the hallmarks of the people who may have problems with chiropractic work. I eventually used NUCCA Chiropractic and then Sacro- occipital Chiropractic with a true master. Helped. Also, warm pool. Please look at the work of Jerry Hesch, PhD physical therapy and more.
@@aaronbarcus3042 No, I never sued anyone, but should have. Was too sick, then 1 year statute for filing expired. Read about dissection of vertebral artery by Chiropractic manipulation - the most common serious injury from high velocity neck “ adjustments.”
What do you do when you have constant stiff back muscles and back pain + consistence cracking in neck when ever I move it accompanied with stiffness and pain (btw I have shoulder injuries)
I used to see a chiropractor twice a year as a kid for mild scoliosis. It was uncomfortable at the time. But it always worked like a charm. I do miss it because my current insurance doesn’t accept it.
Hi Kyle, if you are in the states I believe some locations are cash based but at a good price. Please look into it! It’s definitely worth it to avoid signs and symptoms for an extended period of tine
This would have been good to watch before my first chiro appointment, I was so scared of what the neck cracking was. I thought it was more owl like proportions of movement
@@JohnGibbons Thank you for the prompt response (and, of course, the rest of your tremendous knowledge and dedication that you share with us), but could you be more specific which gas, how it is formed, what metabolic process creates gas, where does it go, transfer, change to.... What happend with the "gas" if it is not released? I noticed that afters some pelvic and muscle alignment my lower back spine does not crack any more. Does it mean that wrong posture and displacement of vertebras, discs or joints creates "gas"? Do you find in your practice clients to whom you can not do neck cracking manipulation, meaning, when you do manipulation nothing happens? Sorry for too many questions, but I did not find anywhere on the web an explanation except that this is release of the gas but I would like to now more about chemistry behind this manipulation. Kind regards.
Hi, interesting questions and there is not much information on the internet...as far as I am aware the gas is a mix of carbon dioxide and nitrogen and possibly oxygen and I perceive the gas is released from the synovial membrane and through the joint capsule during the high velocity thrust (HVT) and this motion actually causes the joint planes of the superior and inferior facet joint to separate and this is called a cavitation. Generally speaking, most patients tend have more motion and reduced pain after this technique. Hope that helps, regards JG
@@JohnGibbons I guess the question of @AWD7 could partially lead to the following : is cavitation a sign of a vertebra putting itself back in place ? I'm pretty sure we both know it is wrong and fear-mongering to say so. We both know we can make the same, and whichever, "synovial" joint pop every 20 minutes or so. It would be weird (totally irrational) to be stuck that often. The idea is sensational. But on another note. What would you deduct from the intensity of the sound of the cavitation ? Would you say that big noise cavitation arise more out of "stiff" segments or out of segments that haven't been popped since a while ? Thanks again for your sharing and your time.
@AWD7 and @John Gibbons The cavitation is not a release of gas rather it is a joining of smaller gas bubbles (Tribonucleation) in the joint capsule. It is not “released” or “popped open”. This rapid joining of many small gaseous bubbles causes the audible.
I have Tourette’s syndrome, One of my ticks is cracking my neck. I do it a lot throughout the day but the loudest cracks are in the morning, or if I haven’t done it in like an hour or two. I basically put my hand on the right side of my lower jaw, then look up to the left, and in a swift move push my neck ever so slightly to the top left, I do the same with the other side. Can you tell me if this is healthy or not. Just because I do it every day and cannot help it
My neck has been in pain since I was in middle school, now I’m in junior year of college. When I turn my head around it relieves pain slightly, but not much?
massagemania.net/products/e-smart-neck-and-shoulder-massager this actually helped me relieve pain in the short term cuz it has heat and electric impulse features. im trying my best tho to not rely on painkillers! Hope this helps.
I’m going to the doctor tomorrow and get it checked out. Lately the pain has been the worst it’s been. My neck, shoulders, and arm numbness has been the issues ongoing. I got checked out by the doctor once before but it was just the neck pain. Wish me luck.
The way I self adjust is laying flat on my bed all the way flat. Take my left hand first grab my head slowly move it over then crack.. then the other side.. you can literally feel the tension release from ur neck down your shoulders to your mid back.. feels amazing
Right. Don't let just any chiroprater do this to you. You'll survive but it can be painful later, so much that you'll never let someone adjust you again. Happened to me. Close to tears for 3 days. It was 10 years ago, still remember it.
Great demonstration & explanation John. Should a HVT be followed up with grade 1/2 oscillation joint mobilization Flx/SB to further calm down the pain via activating type 1&2 mechano-receptors?
what could possibly go wrong, as I do have some pulsation in upper neck and tinitus when I lay down, after some of these neck treatments (neck massage and traction as well)?
Omg I’ll try this on my brother Update: I think it was so good that he fell asleep! I tried waking him up but he’s still out, a deep sleep I see! I think I did a great job. update: 11 months later and it looks like he is STILL IN HIS PEACEFUL slumber… honestly i’m so happy for him but idk why my family has been crying? happy tears i guess😄
Zennyo Ryuo it happens to me, it’s the sound of bones grinding. When you turn at a certain angle, some bones in your neck will grind or scrape against each other and that is what the cracking like sound probably is.
When my neck is facing all the way down and i look to the right, i feel like something is moving and it makes 2 clicking sounds, once i bring it back to the center it make another click and it rubs over something once again. Have you ever dealt with anybody like that?
Stupid question: if releasing the "gas" from the joints/ area of concern helps alleviate the problem of mobility and pain, is the cause too much gas building up?
No research to say exactly what happens when we cavitate the joints - however, the patient typically has improved range of motion of that specific area that was treated with manipulation, regards JG
Hi Jhon ,with a patient that you just treated in this video with a stuff neck to say ,would it help to apply some soft tissue&mobilisation techniques on the suboccipital,sternocleidomastoid mastoid,levator scapular/traps prior to adjustment , so that it may encourage a better response from the application applied ? Please do share your thoughts,kind regards.
I need to fix this m6self as i went to chiro recently and he didnt get this spot and now 8 have a pinch in my left shoulder and feel numbness on my forehead i think it needs adjustment but its a holiday weekend and he closed early. Ugh
All conditions can be helped through treatments, if you have these pathologies to the cervical then I would only perform soft tissue technique and some gentle mobilisations as the manipulation might exacerbate your symptoms and make things worse. See an experienced therapist as they can help. regards jG
Can chiropractors treat acute cervical spondylitis being stiff for close to 30 years cant move neck at all. He is a heart and blood pressure patient too ... Please suggest
I doubt it is spondylitis and is probably spondylosis and if thats the case then the joints will have degenerated - I personally would treat below the level of C4-C7 as that is where the spondylosis typically happens and above the level as I find that helps, regards JG
Grandma was having neck pain and it was so painful because she couldn't sleep,so I did this and now she has been sleeping for more than 7 hours! Good to know it works!
A lot o people have clicking and cracking to their neck - if it doesnt hurt then not to much of an issue...I suggest seeing someone like me just to make sure all is ok with your neck. regards JG
yup, for that sspot, you do need what we called the modified rotational break. Mr. Miagi style. A little lower, and you need to start finding the exact amount of chin tilt (down or up) prior to a sideways S shaped traction wave break. I hate to say it, but you really don't wanna eff around with this stuff unles you know exactly where the bones are when you get started. I mean, exactly.
I lean on my side on my bed holding my head with left hand been doing it years , when i now turn my neck its stiff and aches , the chiropractor cracked it... it makes such a loud noise .. but now it hurts and its stiff 3 weeks later
@John Gibbons Hi is this safe to do even if the person has c1-c2 instability or ligament damage/laxitiy, I have pretty bad neck pain. Have found a well trained and experienced chiropractor near me a little scared about getting my neck adjusted tho
Hi, great video! Would you consider doing a video explaining the recommended positioning of the neck during bench pressing? I have noticed that I get a tight neck after barbell and dumbell bench pressing. I have been reading articles online, but a lot of the information out there is contradicting. Thank you!
Hey John, last night i'd cracked my neck really good. It was the loudest pop i've heard and I could feel my head position realign a good two inches. Now I am very dizzy. Is this normal?
How do I find the highest skilled chiropractor? My wife had a neck adjustment and one year ago today she has been in pain ever since. Physical therapy hasn't brought relief - maybe she needs to be adjusted back to what she was prior to this very new chiropractor injuring her. We need a skilled person like you... how do we find that person?
Mild disc bulge is relatively common at those levels of the cervical spine and debatable if the structures you mention can cause the pain. See a therapist like me as sure they can help, regards jG
My back seems to crack occasionally when I take big breathes in and It feels like relieve but I want it to stop cracking so much cause it’s so often, I heard it was called cavitation. How do I get rid of it ?
I've being going to an Osteopath for three months for Spinal Manipulation adjustment to a VERY stiff neck but the Osteopath has not cracked my neck, I s there a reason for this
My chiro did this neck twist twice on the left but didn't do it on the right. Is that normal? I feel so awkward that she did one side only and didn't even do anything on my back when I told her I got back pain.
@@JohnGibbons thank you very much. I've asked around and they said the same as you too. I appreciate your reply. I'm definitely not gonna return to that chiro anymore.
Be careful people and always check with doctor because even though this guy looks like a professional, I’ve been to a chiropractor where I was way worse after an adjustment. Also, Caitlin Jenson was paralyzed and went into a stroke and died for 10 mins from a neck adjustment for a stiff neck. The adjustment snapped her arteries.
Thanks for the comments and the chance of causing an issue is close to zero - unless you are treated by someone not qualified or not experienced - regards JG
Hi John, ive had a click in my neck from guitar playing and looking to the rightside all the time. Now when i look left about 20 to 30 degrees from center i get a clicking sound. I can look all the way left (got the full 80 degrees you mentioned), but when i go back center i get another click. Its been there for years now and its driving me crazy! What to do?
Sometimes a click can be from a ligament over a cervical segment that has a little bit to motion because a vertebra below ir above is restricted - see someone like me as sure they can help - regards JG
i did this on my brother i still miss him
Hopefully he is still with us! Regards JG

All u need is a good heating pad,sleep in at every night n ur pain will go away
@@ChrisBrown-fx6ts thank you very much for your advice.
Your techniques and hand placement, the way you perform manipulations is just Amazing
Thanks for the lovely comments and lots of practice makes perfect...eventually!! Regards JG
Also I am reading your Kinesotaping book and that glutes one... I am your fan now 🤗🤗😎
Thanks and my NEW Shoulder book is out very soon...regards JG
Thank you for this video, my sister had a stiff neck so I helped her neck crack but not too hard.
Be careful if you are doing this type of technique, regards JG
Did she wake up?
I had an emotional release from this but it really helped my neck.
terrific explanation 👏 and seasoned teacher
Thanks for the message, regards JG
Whenever I turn my neck right I feel a ache on my neck also on my right shoulder how can I fix this?
Try and see someone like me where you live, regards JG
These Chiro Drs are so brave. I could never be responsible for someone's body that deep. I do my own self mobilization, releases. So interesting.
Thanks for the comments and it takes them many years of training to be able to do this, regards JG
What do you mean you “hope” she has improvement?
I haven’t heard another guy say “it’s so stiff” so much since my uncle came to visit.
Dead serious
Bro my neck makes this sound every time i crack it HAHA
Thanks for the message and be careful...regards JG
Some are capable of doing it themselves but others may get injured become stiff and need help to get it just right.
Why will my neck crack on one side but not the other? Thanks
Patient resting with an ice gel pack on the area just treated, along with a glass of water - also excellent follow-up.
Thanks for the comments, regards JG
so is it okay to crack our neck by doing self manipulation moderately or just restrain from doing such thing?
Lots of people self manipulate and feel ok for doing that, however I dont personally recommend it. Regards JG
@@JohnGibbons thank you for the replied. I appreciate it. Would consider to get off the habit slowly
I did this to my friend.
Anyways, let's not talk about dead people.
Hi Jhon ,with a patient that you just treated in this video with a stuff neck to say ,would it help to apply some soft tissue&mobilisation techniques on the suboccipital,sternocleidomastoid mastoid,levator scapular/traps prior to adjustment , so that it may encourage a better response from the application applied ? Please do share your thoughts,kind regards.
I normally use soft tissue techniques first prior to a manipulation and I have a couple of videos on that, regards JG
I need to fix this m6self as i went to chiro recently and he didnt get this spot and now 8 have a pinch in my left shoulder and feel numbness on my forehead i think it needs adjustment but its a holiday weekend and he closed early. Ugh
Hard to fix it yourself but good luck in trying, regards JG
Can I be treated with herniated disc, osteophyte and straightening of the cervical lordosis?
All conditions can be helped through treatments, if you have these pathologies to the cervical then I would only perform soft tissue technique and some gentle mobilisations as the manipulation might exacerbate your symptoms and make things worse. See an experienced therapist as they can help. regards jG
Can chiropractors treat acute cervical spondylitis being stiff for close to 30 years cant move neck at all. He is a heart and blood pressure patient too ... Please suggest
I doubt it is spondylitis and is probably spondylosis and if thats the case then the joints will have degenerated - I personally would treat below the level of C4-C7 as that is where the spondylosis typically happens and above the level as I find that helps, regards JG
@@JohnGibbons yes the spinal cord bones are fused and he cannot move his neck at all
Grandma was having neck pain and it was so painful because she couldn't sleep,so I did this and now she has been sleeping for more than 7 hours! Good to know it works!
hope she wakes up
Has this treatment ever helped your migraine patients with the severity of their headaches?
It does indeed help but not for all patients with migraines, regards JG
@@JohnGibbons thank you for your response :)
Hi doctor. I've got cervical spondylosis. Can osteopathy help to release tight muscles and improve ROM? The past week it's got a lot worse.
Osteopathy can help - wont fix the pathology but can make things a bit easier for you, regards JG
@@JohnGibbons ofc
Gentlemen of culture ... welcome again
Thanks for the message, regards JG
I really want to learn it
I am sure you can, regards JG
My neck is cracking when I do that around thing with my neck and it hurts but doesn’t. Idk what to do. I know there I something off about it.
A lot o people have clicking and cracking to their neck - if it doesnt hurt then not to much of an issue...I suggest seeing someone like me just to make sure all is ok with your neck. regards JG
How to become a chiropractor...plz reply sir
You have to train 4/5 years at an approved school of chiropractic, regards JG
How much does this treatment cost.
Depends who you see as everybody charges slightly different, regards JG
@@JohnGibbons Okay, so how much do you charge?
yup, for that sspot, you do need what we called the modified rotational break. Mr. Miagi style. A little lower, and you need to start finding the exact amount of chin tilt (down or up) prior to a sideways S shaped traction wave break. I hate to say it, but you really don't wanna eff around with this stuff unles you know exactly where the bones are when you get started. I mean, exactly.
Thanks for the message, regards JG
I lean on my side on my bed holding my head with left hand been doing it years , when i now turn my neck its stiff and aches , the chiropractor cracked it... it makes such a loud noise .. but now it hurts and its stiff 3 weeks later
Had to comment without looking at you, I am sure the neck will settle down, regards JG
I got this today 😭 it relieves my neck & back during the session but afterwards, u feel like he missed a few spots.
He’s injuring you
Does this work for neck subluxation
Thanks for the message and yes it will help but only get an Osteopath or Chiropractor to check you first, regards JG
It is nice how there is a pillow to support your head some chircopractics just have it flat.
Thanks and I am an osteopath, regards JG
My back is always painful my lower back what should I do?
No idea without looking at you, see a therapist near you as sure they can help. regards JG
@John Gibbons Hi is this safe to do even if the person has c1-c2 instability or ligament damage/laxitiy, I have pretty bad neck pain. Have found a well trained and experienced chiropractor near me a little scared about getting my neck adjusted tho
I wouldn't recommend having this done if you have instability of that area, regards JG
Hi, great video! Would you consider doing a video explaining the recommended positioning of the neck during bench pressing? I have noticed that I get a tight neck after barbell and dumbell bench pressing. I have been reading articles online, but a lot of the information out there is contradicting. Thank you!
Great suggestion! Not sure when though, regards JG
I could see how it is beneficial...but also devastatingly risky.
Thanks for the message and yes you are right, regards JG
@@JohnGibbons damn right It's risky. Don't do it people. Lifetime of pain
Hey John, last night i'd cracked my neck really good. It was the loudest pop i've heard and I could feel my head position realign a good two inches. Now I am very dizzy. Is this normal?
Hopefully things will settle down soon, regards JG
@@JohnGibbons Not "see your doctor"--?
Probably have yourself position vertigo
Where is ur hospatal doctor
Oxford, UK, regards JG
Thank you doctor. You are excellent.👍
Thats very kind, thanks for the message, regards JG
How do I find the highest skilled chiropractor? My wife had a neck adjustment and one year ago today she has been in pain ever since. Physical therapy hasn't brought relief - maybe she needs to be adjusted back to what she was prior to this very new chiropractor injuring her. We need a skilled person like you... how do we find that person?
I have neck pain and vertigo type symptoms like when I move my neck to left it hurts and it kinda spreading to cervical area too
Me too. This is why I’m seeing a chiropractor this month.
Victoria Sanchez my neck and lumbar spine were out of alignment. I have sinus issues too I guess. Be feeling woozy when I walk
Try and see someone like me if you can, regards jG
I’m going to start watching
Thanks for the comments, regards JG
Why are you still replying to comments after it being uploaded 2 years ago??
People have questions so try and answer some of them, regards JG
Does it hurt if u have a real stiff neck and u get adjusted
Shouldn't hurt if the adjustment is done correctly, regards JG
plzzzzzzzz reply I have accute neck pain for two years now mri shows c4_c5, c5_c6, c6_c7 causing mild disc bulge plz Dr reply
Mild disc bulge is relatively common at those levels of the cervical spine and debatable if the structures you mention can cause the pain. See a therapist like me as sure they can help, regards jG
can I go for charpector or go for steroid injection
He knew what he was doing with that hand motion at 49 seconds into the video
Thanks for the comments, regard's JG
Thank you doc jhon for sharing you knowledge
Thanks for the message, regards JG
I can feel it in my neck here just watching it
My back seems to crack occasionally when I take big breathes in and It feels like relieve but I want it to stop cracking so much cause it’s so often, I heard it was called cavitation. How do I get rid of it ?
It is probably best to see someone like me as sure they can help, regards JG
What does this do?
Does it stretch you’re bones to reveal you’re height or is it a technique to remove bed sores?
Neither of them, regards JG
Great example of Hand Speed!!!
Thanks! Regards JG
I've being going to an Osteopath for three months for Spinal Manipulation adjustment to a VERY stiff neck but the Osteopath has not cracked my neck, I s there a reason for this
Can an osteopath help release c7 trapped nerve
My chiro did this neck twist twice on the left but didn't do it on the right. Is that normal? I feel so awkward that she did one side only and didn't even do anything on my back when I told her I got back pain.
Hard to comment as typically it is one side that is fixated, however most therapists (and myself) will do both sides. regards JG
@@JohnGibbons thank you very much. I've asked around and they said the same as you too. I appreciate your reply. I'm definitely not gonna return to that chiro anymore.
Be careful people and always check with doctor because even though this guy looks like a professional, I’ve been to a chiropractor where I was way worse after an adjustment. Also, Caitlin Jenson was paralyzed and went into a stroke and died for 10 mins from a neck adjustment for a stiff neck. The adjustment snapped her arteries.
Thanks for the comments and the chance of causing an issue is close to zero - unless you are treated by someone not qualified or not experienced - regards JG
My doctor did this and it hurt a lot when he performed it, do i need to worry?
The technique shouldn't hurt if done correctly, regards JG
Where can u go to get this done my neck hurt both sides😞
An Osteopath or a Chiropractor where you live, regards JG
Hi I need this doing myself how long after injury that caused sublixation can it be done
Hard to comment as would need to see you and assess the area myself to decide what to do, regards JG
I have been cracking neck for past 15 years. It is okay to do so.
If its been that long and caused no problems then it is up to you. regards JG
@@JohnGibbons actually i was asking if it is okay to do so ....sorry for my typing error....
Hi John, how can i book in to see you? thanks Gareth
I am sure you can book in with one of my team when this virus calms down, based in oxford, regards JG
I need this myself!!!!
Me to as my neck currently restricted, regards JG
Hi John, ive had a click in my neck from guitar playing and looking to the rightside all the time. Now when i look left about 20 to 30 degrees from center i get a clicking sound.
I can look all the way left (got the full 80 degrees you mentioned), but when i go back center i get another click. Its been there for years now and its driving me crazy! What to do?
Sometimes a click can be from a ligament over a cervical segment that has a little bit to motion because a vertebra below ir above is restricted - see someone like me as sure they can help - regards JG
Should I get my neck adjusted if I have bulging disc in neck? Pls answer I’m in pain
Only by an experienced Osteopath or Chiropractor - regards JG
