How do people usually break their backs and injure nerves?
Are you likely to break your back and injure nerves from being pushed forward on a rowing machine in the gym? I was on a rowing machine and strapped my feet in. When I was either leaning or reaching forward in a lame attempt to grab the handlebar that had been left up, a big guy rowing on my left without warning gave me a sudden push forward on the middle of my back and I felt about two crackles to the posterior left of my lower back in the hip line area, but no pain at the time. Could that have been hip malalignment or --? Thank you.
the cracks that you heard are like when you go to a chiropractor.
or when you crack your knuckles
it is just the joints moving a bit

trust me if you broke your back you would know as you would be in so much pain that you would not be able to get up.
