What Causes Cracks On The Back?
i took my 4 month old to see a chiropractor on saturday, and was told that two of his bones on his spine was dislocated, the chiropractor cracked his back and he was fine after that. we took him for a follow-up yesterday and i was shocked that he had to crack his back again but on a different part of his back and this time it seems much more painful. i must contact the chiropractor next week wednesday to let him know if my son has improved. my question is do i have to take my son every week now to have his back cracked? and why is this happening why won t the bones stay in place is it something i m doing am i not holding him the right way or puting him down to sleep the wrong way. please help i can t see my son in pain whenever he s back get cracked.

Hi.
No 4 month old child should ever--ever--be treated by a chiropractor, especially with adjustments like what you're describing.
He needs to be seen by a pediatrician to have his back properly evaluated and treated
