Your lower back can pop when you lift your leg because of the motion transferring to the lower back.

Back cracking can occur whenever the spine's facet joints are manipulated out of or into their normal position, such as when twisting the lower back or neck.

When the facet joints move like this, they can produce an audible crack or pop along with a grinding sensation or sudden relief of pressure.

If a person twists or pulls a muscle in the lower back as a result of a sudden movement or injury, they may feel a pop or tear as it happens.

Symptoms of a pulled lower back include: loss of function and restricted movement. difficulty walking, bending, or standing straight.

This structure is mostly stabilized by very very strong ligaments around the area, hence if for some reasons your ligaments are loosening and you don't have the muscles strength around that area to stabilize this structure, it will start to move every time you move your legs and your back creating a popping sound with.

Cracking your toes is not bad for you.

When you crack your toes you don't cause any damage so it's perfectly fine to crack your toes if you want to or need too.

Except for the big toe, each of the toes has three joints, which include: Metatarsophalangeal joint (MCP) – the joint at the base of the toe.

Proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP) – the joint in the middle of the toe.

When cracking your fingers, toes, shoulders, elbows, back, or neck, the sense of relief is achieved when that tension is released.

The joint feels relaxed again, which helps to alleviate stress in the body.

There is actually no evidence that cracking your fingers is harmful or can cause damage.

Each toe consists of three phalanx bones, the proximal, middle, and distal, with the exception of the big toe (Latin: hallux).

For a minority of people, the little toe also is missing a middle bone.

The hallux only contains two phalanx bones, the proximal and distal.
