does anybody know any ways to pop a back and also if you pop your back why u get all light headed and when your high and pop your back you feel even more fucked up?

man good question, ive wondered about that light headed thing too.

does cracking your neck and back really fuck you up coz i dont want to be a hunchbacked cripple when im 60

oh and well when i crack my neck just use my hands and push my head to the side, a bit like how the break necks in movies.

hmm when i crack my back i use a chair and i just lean back over the top of the chair and down and that cracks it.

also i twist myself so im looking back but my legs are still facing forward. that ones great it fixes me right up.

To crack me neck I just tilt it to the side and get 4-5 cracks

To crack my back I just twist it slightly and it goes crack

I can also do my fingers, wrists, right elbow, knees and thumbs

Your as bad as me.A compulsive cracker.I heard there's some chemicals released when we pop the joints.

When I crack my back and neck vigorously I get very light headed, my vision blurrs and darkens, sometimes I lose my vision completely and sit right down on the ground automatically. It makes me feel very satisfied for some reason.

The best way it to get another person to do it. Lay down face first on the floor with your head tilted to the left, and arms stretched outwards. Have the person use both hands and push in an upwards motion. Make sure the persons hands are even on either side of your spine. At least this is what I do?

I heard if your a compulsive popper its not good for u and can be unhealthy which i dont understand how,but anybody know if this is true?

It is bad. It damages tissue, and lengthens the regrowth time.

If its not good for u, how many days are u suppose to wait till you could pop your back again. I do mine at least twice a day and am kinda concerned since u say it can damage the tissue etc..

haha, its REALLY funny when you start cracking when a room is dead quiet and the people next to you say 'was that your neck?'
'yeah' '...wow'

well what i do, is stand up straight, cross my arms over my chest, and have a friend grip his/her arms around my chest and arms from the back. then they pick me up and give me a sort of bear hug. it sort of sounds painful when explained, but it feels really good, and it loostens your whole body up. its.......freaky.

It's bad for you if you're constantly popping. Twice an hour shouldn't hurt.

The real reason that popping your joints is not good for you is because your joints are covered with cartilage, the exact same stuff in your ears and nose. The when you pop your joints you are actually scraping the cartilage against itself and grinding it down. The more often you do this the worst because cartilage really doesn't grow back. Your body can repair a small amount of the damage that you do, but not all. Cartilage for the most part doesn't grow back. When your cartilage gets worn down from popping it is extremely vulnerable to arthritis. So the more you pop your joints the more likely you will be old hunched over with large painful joints. I hope this helps.

im horrible... addicted to cracking joints. doesnt even make me feel that great, just a habit. I stopped for a while, but then i went to just knuckles, then knuckles and neck, and now knuckles, neck, and TOES... lol, im pathetic. as for pyro chick's proclamation that it causes arthritis, thats bull shit. It does, however, cause some other problems like (quote from howstuffworks)"soft tissue damage to the joint capsule and a decrease in grip strength."

It's not bullshit, but you have to do it a lot. Very few people get their backs or necks cracked on a consistent enough basis to cause problems. It's mainly an issue for people who crack their knuckles constantly.

"as for pyro chick's proclamation that it causes arthritis, thats bull shit" UrMom
I never said it "causes" you to get arthritis, it just makes it easier for your joints to get it. I learned about this in my nursing classes, I hope my profs wouldn't lie to me.

i crack my fingers,toes,back,neck,elbow,wrist,ankle
not all the time u must understand

The 'crack' is.....ok
Are joints fill with a fluid which helps them move smoothly without fucking up the 'cartilidge'. The crack you hear is the fluid rushing out of the joint when stretched then the cartilidge coming together when released.

Toes r the best, tilt your first toe from ur big toe towards ur big toe, as if to straighten it 'thats my fave at the moment' were all mad

so if u only pop your back, neck, fingers toes etc.. at least 1 or 2 times a day. I should be alright?

Well, to crack you back. Lift you arms and have someone put his arms nder yours and his hands end up on the back of your neck. then tilt back and wiggle your back. it gets a good crack.

About the light headed thing. I heard that if you take lsd, rate poison. Fluid builds up on the back of your neck, and when you crack your neck. You trip out.

Yea your right about that. When i use to do Lsd a long time ago, i always had somebody pop my back a couple days after tripping and i was also stoned when i got my back pop and i got a mild trip. Started to laugh alot for no reason, trails every once in awhile but yea that theory is true.
