Your neighbour’s
daughter practising her Witch’s laugh for halloween?
Or the start of those
fireworks for bonfire night or Diwali…
…no, it’s none of
the above.
It’s coming from
inside you…yes it’s your bones clicking!
Well why does this
occur?
It’s a common
question our osteopaths get.
There are a few
reasons as to why this occurs. It may be due to having air trapped in between
the joints which is released when you move. For others it could be age related,
as there may be underlying arthritis in the joint. If you are noticing occasional clicking in
the spine when you move which is causing no pain then this means the air is
just releasing from the joints. If you are noticing clicking everyday we can help you to
strengthen the joint and look at ways to resolve the problem long term.
What about your back
cracking? We can tell you why…
When you are
cracking your back, you are rotating your spine in a way which is not focusing
the click on the restricted joints. Instead
the loosest joints which are clicking are already unstable causing the
ligaments which are meant to support the area to stretch. This leads to muscles
in the spine tightening up with the process being repeated.
Our osteopaths can
help decrease the tension in the muscles and allow the areas which are
restricted to become mobile enabling more stability in the spine and preventing
further strain from occurring.
Leave that CRICK,
CRACK, CACKLE to the outside and not the inside. Give us a chance to try to fix
you.
