ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Michimich -- Do you roll your neck, hoping to hear a pop?

Do you crack your knuckles and joints throughout the day?

Maybe you bend backwards over a chair in an attempt to relieve some tension. While cracking your back or neck might feel good for a moment, it's important to understand the difference between self-manipulation (twisting or "cracking") and a professional chiropractic adjustment.

Here's what The Bridge Chiropractic wants you to know:

Cracking vs. Popping: Understanding the Sounds
The popping sound you hear when you crack your back isn't actually your bones. Joints contain a fluid-filled sac, bursae, meant to reduce friction while moving. When you twist or stretch in a certain way, pressure changes within the joint cause gas bubbles to escape the fluid, creating that popping noise.

Unlike your knuckles, which are designed for frequent movement, the joints in your spine are more delicate. Excessive self-manipulation can put unnatural stress on these structures.
