Heh, I used to twist and crack my spine to.. just like rolling your neck or cracking your knuckles. The noise is air being inducted or expelled from the joint. Upon reflection I imagine it could only do more harm than good. So yeah, I would avoid that especially as you now have a pre-existing condition.
I’m no MD and of course you should consult one. Surgical correction for spinal deformity is pretty serious stuff. We have come a long way since the Harrington rod method but the principle is similar with the USS technique. A series of hooks rods and screws are used. In some cases, often the damaged disc is removed. Spinal fusion, anterior and posterior surgery, laminectomy etc. are generally only recommended when the problem is likely to deteriorate to or is adversely affecting your lifestyle.
