I'm cracking my back like every 10 minutes(just under the shoulder blades, close to the middle of my torso). It got me thinking and I can't find a clear answer online - how far down would a spine fracture have to be to impaired breathing? I've always assumed it would be parallel with the organs or something

Google "spinal nerve diaphragm" and find which nerve controls the diaphragm (breathing) and where the nerve originates from the spine. I'd tell you, but it is always beneficial to practice your Google Fu and get good at it!
