What can be done about a clicking sound in the lower spine that occurs when you walk?
Clicking sounds when you walk can be many things, when your ankle clicks when you walk sometimes for example - this is gas making the sound and not bones cracking
When a pelvis is out of alignment, the spine is out of alignment. When the spine is our of alignment, there are adverse effects on the neurological system, For example, nerves entering and exiting the spine may be compressed and thus unable to perform their function to the full extent. Circulation and metabolism will be affected, and digestion and elimination can suffer. Legs will be thrown out of alignment, potentially causing knee and ankle problems. More weight will be placed on one hip than the other, causing more "wear and tear".
You should go and see your Dr for a full evaluation, X-Rays and a MRI scan, should your Dr require this. Cod Liver Oil is also supposed to be a great help for joints, to help keep you supple.
More Information:
I strongly suggest you go to your Chiropractor. Sounds like you might have a slipped disc. Never have a Chiropractor work on you without an x-ray done first as the spine is a fragile thing. If the Chirporactor tells you they can feel it, insist on that x-ray.
It may be some spinal instability due to weak muscles in the back and stomach. If it's ok with your doctor, try some core stabilization exercises like pilates with a certified instructor, or work with a physical therapist.

Why do you get back pain after sitting and not after being on your feet all day clicking sounds in lower back?
It almost sounds as if the chair you are sitting in is not allowing proper alignment of the spine... This would put stress on the muscle & ligaments in the lower back, resulting in pain... (like what happens when you bend over too long doing something...) Sorry, I'm hard-pressed to tell you what might be making the clicking sound...

What causes clicking in lower spine when rotating or flexing spine?
The clicking is caused by vertebrae moving around. It alsoreveals exactly how much muscular tension there is. Boneshave no physical means to move themselves; the only way abone moves is if a muscle moves it. Each of your vertebraehas upwards of 36 muscles attached to it that act like guidewires. If muscle tone on each side of a vertebrae ( or anyother bone/joint) is equal then the bone rests in normal position. However, if tension is increased unilaterally then the bone ispulled out of normal position. That clicking and poppingyou here when pressure is applied to your back is thevertebrae being moved to normal position (hopefully!).

What does hyperextension of the lumbar spine mean?
Hyperextension of the lumbar spine refers to excessive backward bending of the lower back beyond its normal range of motion. This can put strain on the ligaments, muscles, and intervertebral discs of the spine, leading to pain and potential injury. It is important to maintain proper posture and movement patterns to prevent hyperextension of the lumbar spine.
