A member asked:
Is cracking your lower back everyday bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Only if you feel muscle tightness or pain afterward. Some methods of "cracking" may utilize maneuvers that can cause injury, but the "cracking" itself is not inherently bad. The sound occurs due to gas fluctuation in the joint.
