I crack my back simply by bending backwards on a chair, with the part of my back that needs to be cracked on the top of the chair. You must simultaneously exhale and relax the spine to do this.

i crack my elbow by putting my arm fully extended in front of me, palm up (elbow pointing down). i try to straighten my arm as much as possible, actually hyper-extending the elbow joint a little (i.e., opposite the natural bend)

if it's ready to be cracked, i can feel the air bubble give a little resistance.. i just straighten/extend the elbow a bit more and get some cracks.

hope that helps!

ignore this

tried to edit first post but ended up reposting the whole thing somehow

was just gonna say that i forgot to mention i can also click the edge of my foot like below my little toe

@nonamej:

Hi! I've been looking at this forum because i loooooove to crack everything I can. Habitually crack: neck, back, toes, fingers, and hips. Kind of curious about this sternum crack i've read about. people tend to hate it when i do it around them, but i don't do it so much in public. also, i used to be able to crack my back like mad (either by twisting or by someone walking on it or by someone pressing on my spine). that doesnt work so much anymore, only arching backwards. my favorite crack? lower lower back. usually done by lying on my side , tensing my b**t, and lifting the upper leg. I'm kind of heavy so it may be the weight that cracks it. the other way i crack that area is sitting on the floor, straight up against the wall. if i slide my b**t forward and still put weight on it (my back still against the wall) it will crack. it's awesome. anyway, no questions or anything, just saying hi!

Hi!
Nice to see a new face around here, promise you'll stick around?! 😮

So basically, I'm only really knowledgable on neck cracks, so can we speak about that?

Is it just when you move it quickly to the right and left?
Because I have an extra crack where if I look 90 degrees to the right and then look forward again, it produces a nasty crack 😞

I love cracking any joint I can… Knees, hip, back, knuckles, toes, etc..etc

My girlfriend told me about a time when she was receiving a pedicure in which they massage your feet beforehand. The person performing the pedicure somehow cracked a bunch of joints in her foot...all simultaneously like a gattling gun. She described how he wrapped his fingers of both hands around the top side of her foot and pressed his thumbs somewhere in the area near the base of her toes. He this either pressed or pulled somehow as if trying to fold the foot in half on itself and she said multiple joints had cracked at once.... joints that she had never felt cracked before. At once I was intrigued... not only to try on myself, but I want to learn so I can reproduce it for her. Has anyone else experienced something like this and know how to reproduce it?

Thanks!! 😃

No, my neck doesn't click.

I CANT GET OVER SAM< PLEASE HELP ME

Does Sam still know you love him?

idiot

So, I take it the answer is no? You ever tell Sam "I wish I could quit you?"

You dont realise how annoying it is that he did this for absolutely no reason… i was not annoying then i hardly ever spoke because of other bullying, and then he did this to me

@chococrazy:

@dj100:

What about sam? If he never punched me I would not be on this site, FACT.
So why cant u blame him

IT'S NOT HIS FAULT. All he did was punch you in the neck. He's not making sit on the computer, and type your little stories. THAT WAS YOUR CHOICE.
Not his. All he did was punch you, we've all been punched it's not that bad.

agreed, we have all been punched.
i have been punched in many places but forgotten about them almost immediately because they weren't for no reason in a completely vulnerable area of the body.

i've been attacked by drunks before but they're drunk, sam was perfectly sober and he still did this.

@Hwarang:

I love martial arts, and the flexibility that goes along with it/is required.
I've been punched and kicked hundreds of times in various places on my body and I 100% believe that none of those blows is the reason why a some of my joints crack. My joints crack because I'm flexible. It's kinda like brushing off noisy cobwebs when I stretch, awakening my body. The cracking is not sore, and in fact once I have cracked I can stretch further/my range of motion increases.

welcome to the forum!
well then, tell me, why did my neck not start clicking before i got attacked by sam?

@chococrazy:

@dj100:

Tell me how your neck started cracking?

I don't really know my older sister use to do it all the time, and her pops were always loud and obnoxius, but one day when I was like probably 6ish I woke up and my neck popped, been hooked ever since.
Edit: But I do think I have a muscle deformality in my neck as the right side feels larger then the left, and I get more prominet pops on the right.

This is very important, i have exactly the same…. how/why?
I'm gonna make a thread on this.

sacral sounds cool

@ericjr77:

No idea.

Though, if 20% of people have it, I wouldn't call it severe.

i would, im talking about the impact of the crack, not the quantity, read it back and think about it.

@tinnamariee:

Sorry I've been away for so long, came down with a nasty case of pneumonia that I'm still trying to shake 😕

Has anyone ever felt the inability to crack joints? I guess to be more specific, my back won't crack and it's killing me! Generally I can get at least an every day crack but it's been really stubborn for the past couple of days.

It's probably because I'm just sick. But my normal relief is no longer…accessible 😞

strange… the cold weather has meant that my joints are cracking all the time, which has ruined everything recently because of my chains of thought.

@Danielle:

What does your family think of all this craziness?

They think I need help, which I am getting.
Its not magic though and its very hard to make progress.

I crack my knuckles, shoulders, wrists, sometimes my elbows, the sides of my feet and my toes. I can't crack my neck or my back.

DJ100, again I suggest that the problem is not your neck. I think I sent you a long post on this several months ago. Did that make any sense to you? I think you have a problem with obsessing. If it wasn't your neck, it'd be something else. Your neck, and the "bully," is just something for you to blame all of your fears, insecurities, and depression on. Grow up, you are not a victim. As harsh as this sounds, the constant obsessing is kind of selfish. Go help someone out, you'll feel better, I promise.

Also, if you want to see this forum come back to life, I might try not making it all about you and your neck. It is literally the first thing I see you mention to everyone.

Hang in there.

Yay some1 else who can crack their neck!

How do you do it? Is it just a really quick movement left and right?
Cos I can do that, but I have the added extra of whenever I look right and then turn my head straight again, a little click in the right side of my neck that is so annoying :?

cool!
looking forward to reading your posts, and by the way i only sent u that private message today!

hmm too old for me

@BigFire:

I will ask, but I think this site is not dynamic enough to keep his interest.

Hm, many thanks though, it will be really good to speak to him.
I really appreciate you asking.
