Is cracking your back healthy?

Cracking your back can provide temporary relief, but it’s important that you understand the risks of cracking your back. When you crack your back, your joints release gas bubbles which creates temporary relief. However, cracking your back doesn’t solve the underlying issues. Cracking your back forcefully can lead to injury including sprains and/or fractures. Some things you can do instead of cracking your back is stretching or seeking professional help from a chiropractor.

Don’t Sit For Too Long

It’s easy to sit for long periods of time when it’s dark and cold outside; however, it’s important that you get up, exercise, and keep your body moving. Sitting for too long increases pressure on your spinal discs and decreases the blood flow to your spine. This can lead to back pain. If you start to feel back pain while sitting, you’ve probably been sitting for too long. Get up and try to walk around a little bit or stretch. If you sit a lot at work, make sure you get up and take breaks.
