It sounds like you’re referring to a popular trend in ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) videos that focus on chiropractic adjustments and the sounds associated with them. In these types of videos, the ASMR creator, often portraying a chiropractor or massage therapist, performs simulated or real chiropractic adjustments with the aim of inducing a calming, relaxing response in the viewer.
Here’s a breakdown of the key elements you’re referring to:
- Chiropractic Adjustments: In the context of ASMR, chiropractic adjustments often involve gentle or firm movements intended to “crack” or “pop” joints, usually in the neck, back, or other areas of the body. These sounds—like a sharp “crack” or “pop”—can happen when a chiropractor manipulates the spine or other joints to release tension and improve mobility. The sound is typically caused by the release of gas from the joint as pressure is applied, which many people find oddly satisfying or soothing.
- Tight Knots: In these videos, the chiropractor (or the ASMRtist portraying one) may focus on addressing tight muscle knots, often in the neck, shoulders, or back. These knots are areas where the muscles become tense and constricted, often due to stress, poor posture, or physical strain. The ASMR practitioner may act as if they are “working” on these knots, using massage or gentle pressure, in combination with the chiropractic movements.
- ASMR Element: The key component of ASMR is the sensory experience of certain sounds that trigger a relaxing or calming response, often described as a “tingling” sensation on the skin, usually around the scalp, neck, or spine. The sound of chiropractic adjustments—especially the cracking noises—can be quite satisfying to some viewers. The overall intent of these ASMR chiropractic videos is to create a sense of relaxation, stress relief, or even a feeling of being “treated” for tension, mimicking the experience of an actual chiropractor’s visit, but with an added layer of ASMR sounds.
- Deep Cracks: The term “deep cracks” in the description refers to the louder, more noticeable cracking noises that occur during the chiropractic adjustments. These sounds are often emphasized in ASMR videos because of how they trigger the ASMR response in some viewers, helping them relax or feel soothed.
Overall, ASMR chiropractic adjustment videos blend therapeutic techniques with the goal of providing a calming, auditory experience. Some people watch these types of videos to relax, relieve stress, or even fall asleep, as the sounds and simulated treatments can be incredibly soothing.
If you’re new to ASMR or the concept of chiropractic adjustments, it might take some getting used to, but many find it to be an effective way to unwind. Does this match the type of content you were referring to?
