yoga<\/a> class and a small crack occurs, for instance, this is an acceptable crack. Excessive cracking of the vertebrae or forcing a crack habitually can wear down the joints and lead to premature breakdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDue to the sedentary lives that most people live, \u201ctext neck\u201d and poor posture result in back and neck pain. The quick twist to pop your back or the quick jerk of the neck to relieve pressure temporarily makes you feel better. There is nothing wrong with adjusting the spine, but it is best to leave it to the professionals, e.g. chiropractors. They are trained to carefully manipulate the spine to promote healthy realignment. Sometimes there is no problem and a quick pop leads to some form of relief, but attempting to fix a problem can worsen the pain or further damage the injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When it comes to spinal structures, certain areas of the spine are more sensitive than others. The cervical vertebrae, in the neck, are much more delicate than the lumbar vertebrae in the lower back. When you tweak certain areas of the spine, you can risk a spinal cord injury, especially if you suffer from back or neck pain. If you are indeed plagued by neck or back pain, consider scheduling regular appointments with chiropractors and massage therapists. If you have no pain and are just a \u201ccrack\u201d addict, dial back on the cracks or stop altogether because you don\u2019t want to wear down your joints and increase your risk of arthritis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are many therapies that can be done to reduce back pain or relieve pressure around the spinal column. You don\u2019t have to twist and pop because you can stretch, ice, heat, or get massages to prevent aches and pains. Try to stand up more and engage in regular exercise, which helps to lubricate joints<\/a>. Make sure to properly warm up before heading straight into a workout, and do a few cool down exercises post workout to decrease your risk of injury.<\/p>\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
