inflammation
I believe that cracking also has secondary mechanism from inflammation of either joints or muscles/tendons/ligaments. My thoracic has cracked since injury which seems to have origin in an injury vs. joint gasses. Immediatly after my ESI that worked I lost all cracking in the thoracic area. This occured again when that one wore off then had another. I asked doctor about it and he said the muscles were tightened by nerve inflammation and that the joint is moving abnormally due to muscles. I also had same occurence in lumbar with recent injection.
