I'll second seeing a doctor, but not a chiropractor.
Sorry - but 2 years is not enough training to work on MY body.

I would suggest seeing a D.O. - a Doctor of Osteopathy - they go to 4 years of medical school, same as M.D.s - but specialize in bone and muscle functions.

I would think that every time you crack your back, you're wearing down some vertebrae and/or disks. Sounds like a sure path to arthritis later in life.

Then again, I haven't even had 2 years training, so don't listen to me, either
