      Well as i have mentioned - like spasms sometimes, and ripples.

      Sudden pain when trying to get a hard joint and also, after i have cracked the neck, i often find when turning my neck to a certain place at the side that it kind of feels like it moves in an out like a twinge or something.

      @DancingJester:

      I don't do my neck (or anything above it) or my shoulder type joints, nor hips, etc. thank g*d. I don't need anymore! 😛

      What the h**l IS there to crack above your neck?!

      I used to do my neck, and my back all the time but my back began to hurt so I stopped that.

      lol you're lucky.
      i literally HAVE to crack my neck every morning, because its always so stiff when i wake up… just my luck :oops:

      There seems to be a small group of people here who visit chiropractors, and the rest are against them. I find this funny. Because we can crack certain joints, but the chiros can crack the joints we can not crack. I really love my chiro experiences. Check out on youtube.com "Dempstead". He is a very good chiro here in southern California.

      @verlaine:

      I have to confess that I have bizarre fantasies about devices and situations that will crack my back, and sometimes I obsess about them. I dream of being in a medieval torture rack or being chained between two cars and pulled apart until my back totally cracks.

      Also, I have also thought about havingt a giant King Kong-sized being grab me with one hand around my shoulders and one hand around my waist and wring me out like a dishtowel.

      Anybody else?

      Yes, I know exactly what you mean. As a kid when I watched Addams Family re-runs my favorite part was when Gomez was on the rack. When Lurch would turn the wheel & there would be a loud crack & Gomez would get this relieved look on his face. I once had my older brothers tie my hands to a fence post and tie a rope around my ankles & start pulling to try to get my back to crack like that. Unfortunately our mom saw us & kinda freaked out, so I never did get that satisfying crack.

      Since first posting this, my back does not pop very well anymore with someone walking on it. I have now moved to laying back down on an arm rest of the couch with my spine perpendicular to it. I let my body weight do the work and I get some great pops.

      @JointCracker:

      Just had a quick look what spine / neck cracking does. A FAQ has an interesting entry labeled Avoid Self Adjustmens:

      Q: My son is constantly cracking his own neck. Besides being annoying, is this damaging his spine?

      A: Repetitive and excessive forceful cracking of any joint of the spine can lead to a stress injury overtime. Unnatural movement of the facet joints (the spinal articulations) can create inflammation in that area.

      The need to constantly "crack" your own neck is usually due to the fact it feels uncomfortable. The irritation reappears because doing it to yourself doesn’t correct the condition of spinal tension. Our office treats neck conditions, more commonly found in teenage patients that have the habit of repetitive cracking. Over stretching the joints irritates surrounding soft, tissue (ligament and muscles) and may make the joint hyper-mobile. The increased movement can prevent stability in the vertebral joint causing it to misalign and eventually subluxate (create neurological irritation). When the vertebral subluxation complex is created, chiropractic adjustments are the most appropriate treatment.

      Obviously cracking your spine yourself doesn't correct the condition of spinal tension because us crackeres feel the pressure again after only a short moment has passed. Cracking is really only temporary relief. Can a professional chiropractic correct this as claimed for good? I have my doubts.

      I don't believe that if chiropractors looked deep down at what they were doing, they would see what benefits or things they were helping with.

      With the back thing, if you try and get those hard cracks consistently then you are probably doing damage.

      I'm a young teen and i crack my neck but i would never go to a chiropractor unless they have 100% proof it would help me. I might, when i see my doctor next in a few weeks, ask him/her about it.

      Yeh it looks weird to others when you try very hard to get a subtle crack, and you keep moving your neck.
