I am being treated for a snapping on my neck allegedly caused by spine compression and arteritis in , the cervical area. The treatment was for 20 sessions of decompression table therapy ( the rack). After 16 sessions the snapping increased and seems louder. The doctor s assistant who is the machine operator told me this is normal. Am I being fed B S?
