I crack my lower back a lot by twisting, as well as my neck.. can this be damaging and or bad?

Neck & back cracking: Deliberately cracking your neck or back on your own may not be a good idea & could potentially lead to complications. If your neck or back crack or pop simply by turning or twisting with no other symptoms, it can be lift alone.
