Cracking or clicking in the back is not a pathology if it does not cause pain. If it occurs, it may be a symptom of four diseases. Mikhail Ryazantsev, surgeon and orthopedic traumatologist at the European Medical Center (EMC), told socialbites.ca.
“Crackling in the spine can be caused by many reasons. These include weakness of the muscular corset and functional disorders such as hernias and protrusions. Moreover, such a reaction from the body can also be an indirect symptom of arthrosis,” said Ryazantsev.
According to the doctor, clicks and rubbing sensations in the spine may be caused by mechanical contact of articular surfaces, they do not need to be treated. Slim young girls are mostly sensitive to such events.
“Crackling and clicking in joints is a fairly common occurrence. The fact is that there are many places in our body where tendons and muscles are located next to bone structures, and during movement joints rub against each other, slide or skip. Another cause of clicking is free carbon dioxide bubbles during displacement. This “Crackling is called physiological,” said the expert.
If the clicking or crackling causes pain, is accompanied by swelling and reduces the person’s quality of life, you should immediately consult a doctor.
Most often, in the treatment of pathologies that cause cracks in the back, in the absence of indications for surgery, a complex course of conservative treatment is prescribed. The patient is sent to the rehabilitation department to attend massage, physiotherapy and special gymnastics courses.
