About six months ago I heard a loud pop in my lower back. Since then I can hear my spine cracking as I move, especially later in the day. There has been no pain accompanying this cracking until recently. Now my lower back hurts when I bend over, stand for long periods of time, lift things etc... and it continues to make the cracking sound. Should I see a chiropractor or is this more serious?
Hi, it appears that you have an arthritis of the lower spine, you may need to have an M.R.I. So I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.  I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe neurotrophic injection for 10 consecutive days, and to be repeated when there is recurrence, along with other medicines. Thank you.
