Severe back pain and cracking after stretching?
Hi guys,
I started stretching my back three days ago, as I spent a lot of time at my desk and wanted to do something "for my health." However, the problem is that my spine kept cracking during certain exercises (especially when I bent my chin to my ribcage and then slowly turned my head left and right). Today I woke up with extreme back pain (which I didn't have before, even from sitting), and now my spine cracks from top to bottom (really deep within my body) with every little movement. I can't even stretch. I showed this exercise to my girlfriend, and she said that every time I do the "cracking," my disc pops out, and if I keep doing it, I could get a herniated disc. Is that true? I mean, they say "exercise" is good for the body. How could something like that happen to my discs? I don't know, but before stretching, I felt much better, so I only had slight back pain (and I thought that was pretty bad). What would you do? Just stop stretching? I don't want to get a herniated disc.

Back pain through too many seats? There is not the back muscle stretched, which is already overstretched, but the front muscles!
At least look at a video of "Liebscher and Bracht".
Thank you for the answer. So I've done a video of Liebscher and Bracht there he says even if you sit a lot you're supposed to support yourself on a wall with your hands and then go deep into the stretch back.
I prefer this simple exercise standing there, to stretch the muscle in the groin area. A step distance to the wall (view to this), a leg placed slightly forward, support hands on the wall, and stretch the muscle in the groin area (of the introduced leg) without coming into the hollow cross. Helps me optimally against problems in the lower back area.
Hey. It is important that you are careful when you try new stretching exercises, especially if you already have back problems 🙈🙈🙈🙈
The crack in your spine could be due to joint air bubbles released during stretching.
However, it is unlikely that each crack will lead to a disc incident. Nevertheless, it is advisable to perform new exercises slowly and with appropriate techniques to avoid injuries. So I would do such exercises only in consultation with the doctor or with an orthopedic.
Thank you for the answer. Well, I live on a village and until I can have an appointment at the orthopedic, it's been going for a year so I didn't want to wait so long xD
Yes then you have to wait a little longer for the emergency or drive a little further to the emergency. A village is not an excuse.
