Any Chiropractors in here? Need a caution.

Would it be dangerous on the lower back to do heavy squatting, then afterwards uncompress your back by hanging upside down on a bar? I ask because I know cracking your back too much can cause problems but would the squatting amplify the effect of hanging upside down?

I think you are being somewhat optimistic with your expectations with a thread titles any chiros in here.

I'm no chiro, but I read a few sources recommending hanging from a chinning bar after heavy squats to relieve lumber compression.

I have never seen anything indicating this is not good practice.
