You do not need to hear a sound to tell that an Adjustment worked or not.  In most low force techniques and with instrument adjusting techniques, a sound will not occur but that does not mean that an adjustment was not accomplished. The sound that is often heard following a Chiropractic Adjustment is produced by the synovial fluid which is a lubricant that is found in all joints throughout the body. Synovial fluid contains dissolved gases and during an adjustment the slight movement causes a release of pressure. Again, you do not need to hear a sound to know whether or not the adjustment worked or not.
