That sound is called a cavitation. It is simply the release of a gas bubble (a mix of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide) from the joint fluid when the joint space is opened. It is very similar to the sound of cracking your knuckles. It isn’t bone rubbing on bone; in fact, most patients at our Orlando office report feeling an immediate sense of “pressure release” and increased mobility right after it happens.

Our goal is to get you back to peak performance, not to keep you on a table indefinitely. However, many of our Windermere athletes and busy professionals choose “maintenance care” or “performance care” much like they choose regular oil changes for a high-end car. Once we resolve the initial pain, periodic Precision Adjustments help prevent future injuries and keep your nervous system functioning at its best.

Chiropractic care is widely recognized as one of the safest drug-free, non-invasive therapies available for back and neck pain. Dr. Marvin Terry uses a highly personalized approach, and with over 20 years of experience, he tailors the force and technique to your specific body type and comfort level. We also review your history and any imaging during your initial 60-minute consultation to ensure an adjustment is the right course of action.

In many cases, yes. While we wouldn’t adjust the specific level of a fusion or a surgical site, Dr. Terry can work on the segments above and below to reduce the “compensatory strain” that often happens after surgery. We also utilize gentler recovery tools like PEMF Therapy and Class IV Lasers to support healing in post-surgical patients without the need for high-force manual manipulation.

ain is often just the “smoke,” while the “fire” is somewhere else. For example, your lower back pain might be caused by a misalignment in your hips or even a compensation pattern from a foot issue like Plantar Fasciitis. By looking at your body as a whole—using our Home Run Formula—Dr. Terry ensures that we address the root cause, providing you with lasting Lower Back Performance rather than just temporary relief.
