Obviously you are suffering with symptoms of back pain and your efforts have not corrected the matter, hence you continue to crack your own back. That said, if you are constantly finding the urge to crack your back then this must be addressed. No! As you can see, when you crack your own back you’re not really fixing the problem and instead creating long term issues. They usually are the joint s already stretched too thin and unfortunately cracking impairs the ligaments’ ability to stabilize your joints, causes chronic stiffness, irritation, pain, pinched nerves, and can cause improper spinal alignment. While there may be some short-lived relief, the joints that are cracking are not those that are locked tight and causing you pain. Not only are you simply just releasing the gas between your joints, but you’re stretching your ligaments to the point of becoming unstable. There are actually chiropractic techniques to adjust one’s back effectively without any cracking and popping.Īnd I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but as mentioned above, when you’re cracking your own back, you’re not actually adjusting your back. When you “crack” your back, it’s just the built up gas rushing out of your joint and making a popping sound similar to pulling a suction cup off a window or a wall. You see, gas builds up in your joints and becomes locked up.
That snap, crackle, and pop, aren’t the Rice Krispies characters coming out to say hello, nor is it actually you adjusting your back. While you may feel some immediate relief from cracking your back, the truth is, the issue itself may remain under the surface and result in more tension and/or problems.
If you’re experiencing back pain, how can you resist cracking your back? A little twist here, a little tilt there, or even a little request to a friend to walk on your back? And what about that snap, crackle, and pop, like you’re watching a Rice Krispies commercial? Combine that cracking sound with the momentary relief…and you’ve scored! Or have you? What happens when you’re cracking your back?
