Pain & Muscle Spasms in Upper Spine (Thoracic area)

I have been having my back cracked, by anyone large enough to stand on it, for the past 15 plus years. Reason, evers since I was a teeager, my back would go into this spasm of sorts directly in my upper spine area. By having someone stand on it, it will make several HUGE crack sounds, and I would feel instantly better.
However, now in my mid 30’s, I need it much more often, and lately, my spasms are so bad my breathing is affected. It’s very uncomfortable, and painful.
I just found a Spinal doctor, but is there something I should know first? Any idea what this could be just based off of this? Thanks…wkt2/22

    I am 64 years old, have recently had to retire due to worsening thoracic back pain, it feels like muscle spasms to me. Have had massage, acupuncture,which no longer help. In the past year have had 10 CT guided costatransverse injections, to no avail. I am on the waiting list till March 2020, for pain management.
