Why Does My Back Crack So Easily?
Hi, I was wondering.. Why does my back crack so easily? It started only a few weeks ago. I m fifteen with 30 degree scoliosis and It cracks every time I straighten. When I slouch is when it doesn t crack and feels most comfortable. When I tilt my head back my neck cracks. I don t get enough calcium in my diet so I m not sure if that would have anything to do with it.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The crackling noise in the back joints is usually a harmless noise due to decreased joint lubricants or due to vacuum in the joint spaces. This can decrease by taking proper supplements.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
