I have a French Bulldog who loves me pressing on pressure points in his joints….I have applied pressure along his spinal cord, but never enough to cause a crack, and I don't want to risk hurting him.
I live in the Bay Area and there is a Chiro who specializes in Animal Chiro and does adjustments to horses and dogs. So yes, it is possible and done
never had pains in any joints I have cracked, ,..my hips, neck or back often crack while doing simple movements. I have been cracking my neck for over 10 years and if anything, it has improved my Range of motion, being able to move down toward my chest or left to right
I have seen in football movies where a guy just gets slammed and they do the fake sound effects of bones popping…..I often have wondered if that would be nice....standing still, dude charging at you, body slamm, arms spread out , having the entire spine get thrown forward bones a cracking...
Wow, I cannot believe I have found this website. I am a long-time cracker, 41 years old, been cracking since my teens.
I guess I should list all the joints I crack on a daily basis.
Neck, several times daily. –-can do so via the following.
1. I have a stiff backed chair, I can pull my back/neck into and will get about four -five cracks.
2. I have hardwood floors in my home, I can lie on my back, roll my feet back towards over my head and get 5-6 cracks, then while lying flat, I can twist my neck to get 2 cracks. I can then lift my neck off the floor and sometimes get another one.
3. I see an Accupressure massage person every Friday and he cracks my entire back and neck by pressure on my spine while I am on my stomach.
4. he can also take my neck while I am sitting and grab and twist my neck while holding my jaws.
Jaw--
I can now open my mouth pulling my lower jaw down and get a crack a couple of times a day
Hands
I can do several ways, pulling out, side to side, on downward pull on my thumbs.
Back--
1. using my stiff backed chair.---3-4 times a day
2. the method above lying on hardwood floor.
3. I can bend forward to remove my shoes and my spine pops several times.
Hips--
can lie on my back and butterfly each leg and get a hip crack.
Knees--
can do this several times a day, standing a quick side shift will get a crack
Ankles--
I can take my ankle and rotate it and get a crack or take the opposite foot and bend it down and get a pop.
Toes--
take the other foot and push all the toes downwards , usually get all to pop except for the big toe.
Big toe-pull out to the side with the opposite foot.
Ok, so I have let you all know just how big a crackhead I am.
Hope to learn by perusing the forums of some other techniques
