    you must be young. when I was younger (I'm pushing 40 now) i would occasionally feel the need to crack my back. as i have aged and become stiffer i have found every time I reach the limit of my flexibility the movement is accompanied by a pop or crack.

    I believe you feel the need to do so because excersizing the range of motion of any joint is important to maintain flexibility. Keep doing it! if less motion becomes required to achieve the pop its a sign of loss of flexibility. When you can no longer move enough to hear the accompanying sound its a concern to see your doctor about.

      That was how it started for me, A.S is a disease that starts at the hips and works it way up the spine as you age. Just keep moving and popping the joints!
