Osteopathy is one of the recognized and accepted practices in France. The behavior of some osteopaths is denounced by the white coats, who see it as the source of pain or trauma.
One of the most iconic is what we call “neck cracking” Synovial fluid, which lubricates the joints, is also present in a gaseous state. Bubbles can form and, when they explode, you hear the famous “crack”. “Cracking a knuckle is not risky as such, like cracking your knuckles. But going beyond what the joint can accept is dangerous,” says Antoine Brinquin.
