Mis-alignment of the spine
-
Could this be a cause of back pain/cracking?
-
Absolutely not. Back cracking is the sound of cavitation in the synovial fluid of joint capsules.
Mis-alignment of the spine would be a very painful condition, as it would involve some for on dislocation. Either that or it would be similar to scoliosis, again a major condition.
The term 'mis-alignment' gets thrown around a lot by chiropractors and other therapists who do not use good science, but in reality, most people do not have a misaligned spine. If they did they would not be able to walk.

Ah ok, cool.
Any idea why some people have cracking worse than others?
-
yoru actually incorrect alot of peoples backs get misaligned.. and vertabrea GETS MOVED AROUND AND EVEN POPS OUT ( PROTRUDES) .. and does need to be reset..
-
does this mean its normal to have a cracking back?
-
Some cracking = Normal (especially during stretching or twisting)
Alot of cracking and pain = Bigger problem.
-
what about when you don't mean to crack and it "automatically" cracks?
-
I think that spinal alignment could very possibly have an effect on cracking. But the mis-alignment might be more-so a precursor to the actual cracking. Strength training lead to more frequent cracking for me, and I have a slightly mis-aligned spine. So I think that there is a connection but is only noticed in the rehabilitation of the injury not at the onset.
