back cracking.

im not sure why but whenever my back hurts, i crack it and it feels better than it did before. but could this make my scoliosis worse? [im at 2 identical curves both 40 degrees.]

I always crack my back after wearing my brace. I dont think it will make your scoliosis worse, but i'm no doctor! It's just because when you wear your brace like 22 hours a day it gets stiff and you just have to loosen it up and make it more comfortable.

Hi,

We're seeing an Osteopath to help with my daughters scoliosis and they actually crack her spine for her! They say it releases gas in the joints and helps the surrounding muscles to loosen up. But they also said excessive cracking is not good.

:D
