It's terrible to try and do it yourself. Often times you do more harm than good. I'm guilty though. Thank god the GF will be a chiro within the year.

it feels great. especially when you feel each vertebrae pop. all the way from the bootom to the top.

even better (and better for you) if someone else does it for you.

i love the feeling, especially when it NEEDS to be cracked.

Does anyone know of any directly related side effects?

cracking joints and things is just stretching a bubble in the fluid around it so that it pops which is why you can't get 2 cracks in the same place after each other

research has shown there is no link to cracking joints or anything to arthritis

I must be the only person that is disgusted by hearing a back crack.  Makes me shudder every time I hear it.

ive always heard its healthy to do so. i have heard that when you crack your knuckles or what have you, its just the popping of the joints. from what i understand it would just slightly weaken your grip and small hand swelling...nothing that will really effect you at all.

I do this 10+ times each class. School chairs are so good first class up when you can do a whole line of vertebrae.

Couches are the best for this. sit down and stick your fingers in the cracks behind you and twist. for me its more satisfying than school chairs
