Definitely confirmed!

I often crack my fingers because of cramps & pains due to various activities - writing/typing a lot, other sorts of handiwork etc. Of course we're not talking about terrible pains, but there is a physical discomfort, not a psychological reason.

I crack my toes after walking long distances and/or wearing tight-fitting shoes that get them in cramped positions.

90% of my attempted back/spine cracks are purely in order to relieve back aches and pains. My back cracks are tiny, barely audible if you're not standing right next to me, but the relief from physical strain & pain is tremendous.

Occasionally, even a good neck crack might help in the case of a headache/migraine. I don't try to crack my neck often so… don't quote me on that... but, you get the picture...

wait, sacrum is the tailbone?

when i crack my chest/sternum (the plate in the middle where your ribs meet), i do it sitting upright. i sit up tall, pull my shoulders back and down (trying to get the blades to touch in the back) which in turns opens up the chest.

i only acquired this ability in the past few months. it's a faint pop and sometimes it can ache after i crack it.

I lay down flat or stand straight and press my heels together on the insides of the heel keeping my legs stiff forward and it usually pops my hips.

I think the sound (release of gas) has alot to do with it.

With the main crack like you get when you wake up?
