Any tips on self adjusting your own spine?

[Royalty]

I can gently adjust my lower back and neck. The way that I crack my neck also sometimes adjusts the vertebrae near my shoulder blades.

Any one have tips on gently adjusting the thoracic vertebrae in particular? Or Lumbar & Cervical?

Adjust?  You're only popping fluid out of the disks.  

In my many years of experience, only very few chiropractors are competent... most are voodoo practitioners.  They snap your neck and spine and they/you perceived something got fixed.

Your spine and neck is self adjusting.  Non-traumatic soft tissue injuries/discomforts heal 99% of the time without any medical attention, intervention or medication.

Deep tissue massage from a competent masseuse is 100% better and more effective than those bone crackers.

I don't have advice on how to adjust your neck or upper spine. If you need to make an adjustment to your lower spine, there are some movements that my physical therapist taught me to do which work pretty well. One movement is to lie on your back with your legs bent at the knees. Slowly pull one knee up to your chest by clasping both hands around the knee and hold it for thirty seconds, repeat with the other leg. Do ten of these for each side. Another movement you can try is while lying on your back, and keeping your legs straight, raise one foot off the ground several inches, hold it for a few seconds and relax. Do this with each leg ten times.

I had my entire skeleton removed in June, 2011, and I've felt great since.

Better than a chiropractor is to go to a DO. My primary care doctor is a DO. On those rare occasions when I've put my back out, he adjusts it for me. Unlike many chiropractors, he doesn't set me up with ongoing appointments which can go on indefinitely and I don't ever need them either. In a worse case situation, he prescribes muscle relaxants to keep spasms in check.

I use an inversion table and foam roller.

Get a strap corset like what forest gump had on his legs but on your back.

The only way i know how to do it involves the use of another man (no homo)......cross your arms on your chest, inhale and then exhale deeply.  Right when you exhale, have your buddy pick you up in a bear hug and shake you around.  You should hear a couple of choice "pops" and feel better
