Aston Manor Chiropractors

Chiropractors diagnose and treat conditions affecting joints, muscles and nerves by using manual therapy rather than medication.

Chiropractic offers an alternative approach to the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions and the subsequent effect of these conditions on the nervous system.

“You May Hear a Crack…” 🥚😅
We love a good chiropractic joke — and this one is a classic. But behind the humour is a real reminder:
A chiropractic adjustment isn’t about chasing a crack.
It’s about restoring proper movement, reducing tension, and helping your body function at its best.
Whether you’re made of bones or… eggshells… your spine deserves proper care, not guesswork.
Professional adjustments = precision, control, and safety.
DIY twisting = well… let’s not end up like Humpty Dumpty.

💪🏻 What You Can Do to Help Your Joints (Instead of Self‑Adjusting)
If you love that feeling of relief in your back or neck, you’re not alone. But instead of forcing a twist or chasing a crack, here are safer, more effective ways to keep your joints happy and moving well.
🚶‍♀️ 1. Keep your body moving
• Gentle mobility exercises
• Regular stretching
• Short movement breaks
Movement nourishes your joints far better than a quick crack ever will.
🏋️‍♂️ 2. Strengthen the muscles that support your spine
• Core stability
• Glute activation
• Postural strength
Strong muscles mean more stable joints — and fewer urges to self‑adjust.
🖥️ 3. Improve your posture and ergonomics
• Adjust your workstation
• Avoid long periods in one position
• Support your lower back
Small changes reduce stiffness and the “need” to twist your back.
💦 4. Stay hydrated
Joints love fluid. Hydration keeps cartilage healthy and reduces that tight, crunchy feeling.
🥶 5. Use gentle self‑care
• Heat for tight muscles
• Ice for irritation
• Light stretching
These soothe discomfort without stressing your joints.
🩻 6. Get assessed by a professional
A chiropractor can identify which joints are restricted and provide a precise, controlled adjustment — not a random twist.

🚨 Why “Self‑Adjusting” Your Back Isn’t Doing What You Think It Is 🚨
We’ve all seen it — that dramatic twist, the big stretch, the pop that feels like instant relief. It’s tempting to think you’ve just “adjusted” your spine like a pro. But that satisfying crack isn’t the same as a chiropractic adjustment.
‼️ What’s actually happening when you crack your own back
• The sound is gas releasing from the joints — not bones going “back into place.”⁸
• You’re usually moving joints that are already mobile, not the ones that are restricted.
• The relief is temporary, and the real issue often stays unresolved. ‼️ Why it can cause more harm than good
• Over‑twisting can irritate ligaments and soft tissues.
• Repeated cracking can create joint instability.
• It can mask symptoms that need proper assessment.
💡 What a chiropractor does differently
A chiropractic adjustment is precise, controlled, and targeted at the specific joint that isn’t moving well. It’s not about chasing a crack — it’s about restoring proper function.
⬇️ The bottom line
If you love that feeling of relief, your body is telling you something. Instead of DIY twisting, let a trained professional assess what’s really going on. Your spine will thank you.

😬 Hate your joints being cracked?
You’re not alone — and yes, a chiropractor can still help.

Chiropractic care doesn’t have to involve popping or cracking sounds. There are gentle, low-force techniques that work quietly while still improving movement, easing tension, and supporting your nervous system.

Your comfort matters. Care should always be tailored to you.

✨ Gentle care. Real results.

MYTH: Chiropractic is dangerous ❌
FACT: Chiropractic care is a well-researched, widely used option for back pain.

✔️ Recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) as an effective treatment option for back pain
✔️ Risks are generally mild, with serious side effects extremely rare
✔️ Chiropractic consistently shows some of the lowest malpractice claim rates of any healthcare profession

Nothing in healthcare is 100% risk-free — but chiropractic has a strong safety record when delivered by a trained professional.

Your safety. Your comfort. Your care.

No pop doesn’t mean the adjustment didn’t work 👍

The popping sound (called cavitation) is just gas being released from a joint. It can happen during an adjustment… or not happen at all. Either way, the benefit comes from restoring motion and improving how the joint and nervous system function, not from the noise.

Many effective adjustments are:

Gentle and quiet

Low-force techniques

Focused on movement, not sound

Some people pop easily, others rarely do — and both can get great results. What really matters is how you feel afterward: better movement, less tension, improved comfort.

At the end of the day, the pop is optional. The results aren’t 💙

👂 What’s that popping sound?

That “pop” you hear during a chiropractic adjustment isn’t your bones cracking — it’s simply gas being released from the joint as pressure changes. Totally normal, totally safe.

At Aston Manor Chiropractors, adjustments do more than make noise. They help:
✔️ Improve movement
✔️ Support nervous system function
✔️ Reduce stiffness and tension
✔️ Help your body work the way it’s meant to

Better movement. Better communication. Better you.

⚠️ Be Careful with Bending & Twisting ⚠️

It’s often the most innocent movements that lead to back injuries.

Twisting while bending — especially when lifting or reaching — places significant stress on your spinal discs. These movements can overload the spine, increasing the risk of disc bulges, strains, and sudden back pain.

🌀 Common problem moments:
• Picking something up while turning
• Reaching behind you from a seated position
• Twisting while carrying everyday objects

✅ Always lift or work directly in front of your body
✅ Turn with your feet, not your spine
✅ Keep movements controlled and deliberate

Your spine is strongest when it stays aligned. If you’re experiencing back pain after a “simple” movement, it’s a sign your body needs attention.

💡 Optimal Desk Lighting = Better Posture 💡

When your desk lighting isn’t right, it’s not just your eyes that suffer.

Poor lighting or glare forces your eyes to work harder. Without realising it, you start leaning forward to see the screen more clearly — and that’s when the real trouble begins.

➡️ Slouching forward strains your neck
➡️ Rounded shoulders overload your upper back
➡️ Prolonged poor posture leads to aches, stiffness, and headaches

✔️ Position your light source to the side of your workspace
✔️ Avoid glare reflecting off your screen
✔️ Ensure even, comfortable lighting across your desk

Small ergonomic changes can make a big difference to your spinal health. If neck or back pain is creeping into your workday, we’re here to help.

🦴 Chiro vs Physio — What’s the Difference?
Both help with pain and movement… but in different ways.
Chiropractors focus on spinal alignment and joint mechanics, using adjustments to restore proper motion and reduce nerve irritation.
Physiotherapists focus on movement, strength, and rehabilitation, using exercises and manual therapy to retrain the body.
Both are valuable — it just depends on what your body needs.
At Aston Manor Chiropractors, we specialise in restoring healthy joint movement so your body can function at its best.

👶🧓 MYTH MONDAY
“Chiropractic is only for adults.”
🚫 Nope. That’s like saying only grown-ups need sleep or good posture.
✅ FACT: Chiropractic care is for all ages — from newborns to great-grandparents.
• Babies can benefit from gentle adjustments to help with colic, reflux, and wry neck.
• Kids often need support as they grow, especially with posture, sports, and screen time strain.
• Elderly patients gain relief from arthritis, stiffness, and balance issues — all with safe, tailored techniques.
💡 And no — we don’t “click” babies. Paediatric chiropractic is gentle, precise, and incredibly effective.
At Aston Manor Chiropractors, we treat the whole family — with care that fits every stage of life.

🦴 Why Your Body “Adapts” Into Pain — And What You Can Do About It
Ever noticed how your body seems to “settle” into certain postures — especially the not-so-great ones? That’s no accident.
When joints lose proper movement (think slouching at your desk or cradling your phone between shoulder and ear), the surrounding tissues — muscles, ligaments, and fascia — temporarily shorten to support that position. It’s your body’s way of saying, “Fine, I’ll help you stay here.”
But here’s the catch:
• These tissues eventually adapt permanently to that shortened state.
• Nearby muscles have to work overtime to compensate.
• The joint itself becomes less mobile, more stressed, and more painful.
• Over time, this leads to dysfunction, chronic pain, and even degeneration.
💥 It’s like your body builds scaffolding around a bad habit — until the scaffolding starts to collapse.
At Aston Manor Chiropractors, we help restore proper joint movement, retrain your tissues, and get your body back to working with you — not against you.
