Jointcracker Joined: Jun 27, 2006 Posts: 20 I notice that when I stretch my shoulders back that it seems my sternum cracks(or at least something is cracking in the area there) once in a while. It feels quite nice. Can the sternum crack? Is there anyone else that can do this?

It sounds and feels more like tiny vertabrae than large joints but it sure is good Back to top kzooteague Posted: Sun Sep 03, 2006 3:37 pm    Post subject: Junior Jointcracker Joined: Sep 03, 2006 Posts: 8 I didn't know anyone else could do that. Mine started after an especially brutal slam. I have been skateboarding for almost 10 years and I attribute almost every one of my recurring craks to my pasttime. When my sternum cracks i feel a simultaneous crack between two very specific vertabrae in my upper back. Back to top ZPitcher Posted: Mon Sep 04, 2006 4:41 pm    Post subject: Jointcracker Joined: Sep 04, 2006 Posts: 17 I can do it pretty consistently. I just arch the shoulders and elbows back so they're more behind my body and feel a crack there. If I stretch like that enough I can follow it up with arm rotations and torso swivels until the whole upper body feels utterly flexible, even if I just had a muscle pull or something else. If you arch the back backwards until you're almost bent over backwards, then I can see popping those back vertebrae. I'll even twist while bent over backwards like that so the vertebrae become very flexible. When I used to do that more consistently in the past, I had a greater amount of back muscle, and I'm sure exercises like that played a part in it.

I've looked up what the Xiphoid Process is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xyphoid_process But, I haven't been able find any information about it cracking. I can believe it because that's where i feel it when cracking my sternum. Is this the location you other sternum crackers are cracking?

But it has to be the first thing in the morning or it's just a nice back stretch. Back to top hal Posted: Tue Dec 26, 2006 12:36 pm    Post subject: Elusive Sternal Crack Junior Jointcracker Joined: Dec 25, 2006 Posts: 4 For me there are two main joints that I crack involving my sternum. The one that feels the best is the Sterno-manubrial joint at the "angle of Louis". The second is the sterno-clavicular joint (on either side). The sterno-manubrial joint feels better than any other in my body but is the most difficult and rare to make work.

I'm not sure if one could be the xiphoid process. Thanks for the crack tips friends.
