Back Cracking
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.
my name is molly
i am 15 and a sophmore in highschool
i got my back brace at age 13
i should stop wearing it REALLY soon
my curves are 38 and 43 degrees
i've had scoliosis since i was 7
my legs used to be uneven
but now they look much more balanced!
and hopefully my scoliosis will start to get better
Oh, and i'm raising a lamb. her name is Violet and she's super cute!

i'm not sure if it causes damage though. maybe the next time you see you'r doctor you could ask him and maybe he'll know the answer!Hey i'm Nicole,

A little back cracking OK!
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.
Elysia 16 in Feb 2010
Sydney - Australia
Feb 2008 Fused T5-L1 and 5 ribs removed.
Dec 2009 - Crankshafting
Dec 10 - Revision surgery...3 vertebrae taken down, hooks removed, at T11-L1 - screws inserted, fusion extended down to
L3 using Pedicle screws, some rib removed to try to derotate. Praying for things to settle.
