Chiropractor prefer to have their manipulations referred to as adjustments or manipulation or CMT (conservative chiropractic manipulation) rather than "cracking" because that term makes it sound too easy.. like anyone could do it.
Cracking is term used by many patients and it (in the minds of some chiropractors connotes a lack of respect) for them and the treatment.
Me....I've been doing this too long for the term to be offensive to me. After 20 years of practice I've heard quite a number of things and having someone refer to the manipulation/adjustment as "cracking" is relatively minor.
