popping of facets

has anyone ever had a pt "pop" their facets along the thoracic spine back into place. My pt told me - because you'd actually hear a pop noise, that it was the facet passing a tendon that was making that noise.

i can tell you with all honesty, that has been the only thing that would give me a window of relief....but it has been over 2 years since i saw that pt. She would have me laying flat on the table, breath in and then she would pop my facets. I have mild scolisis in the T area with rotation. I cannot belief how painful it is to touch that area of my spine.

2 mri's say nothing is wrong in the t spine, but the pain continues to go into my chest and wrap around - go figure
