A member asked:
I have ddd, on 4 lower back discs and i was advised to not crack the back. i've since notice a grating sound whenever i rotate my pelvis, and cracking sound after walking. sometimes this even alleviates low grade pain. should i be concerned?

Not necessarily a concern. You're apparently manipulating your spinal joints in and out of position creating a grating sound and relieving pressure in your spine while doing the maneuvers. I think your orthopedic specialist would agree with this analysis.
