Certain people often feel strong urges to ‘crack’ his or her own spine. This could be located in the lower back or at the neck. The urge is caused by muscular spasms due to stuck spinal vertebrae. In the event of cracking your own spine, a pop sound is created just like when a chiropractor does it. However, we have received extensive training to be able to move the joints in the exact direction with the exact amount of force required for each particular patient. If an untrained person or yourself cracks your spine over a period of time, problems may arise due to joint instability and this may require even more treatment and exercises to correct the damages inflicted upon the spine.
