just dont crack ur bones....
(separate from previous answer)...experts believe the habit of cracking ones bones is more psychological then physical. Its literally all in your head. Trust me if don't think about it you will notice gradually that you have totally forgotten about cracking your bones. Next time when the "urge" to crack your bones arises, ignore it ( i understand how tempting it can be i had the same problem, but slowly i have stopped) ignore it by focusing on something you like, go watch tv or something that you like doing. Like all bad habits, its in your head, if you believe that you will not crack your bones, then you wil not crack your bones... good luck :)
Well, if you do it enough, there is a possibility of getting arthritis when you are older.WRONG. This statement above is a common myth. Cracking your knuckles has no side affects other than knocking your bones back in place. If done enough it will wear down the cartilage, but not enough to cause arthritis. The only way to get arthritis from cracking your knuckles is by doing 4-5 times a day, every day, for about 20-30 years.
This noise, unless, painful, is due to air in the joint. See link below about joint popping.
A person's voice usually cracks from their throat being dry. Drinking plenty of fluids will help keep the throat lubricated to help prevent the voice from cracking.
Not necessarily, however some have a genetic predisposition to this problem.
It depends on what bones you mean and where they are. Many synovial joints have tiny air pockets which can cause a popping or a crackling sound. I have two knee replacement joints and they pop at times which I was told was normal. Sometimes age can be a factor. There is always the friendly family doctor to ask as well.
try sitting on your hands whenever you are sitting.
Yea it is i have been cracking my knuckles a long time and it has become a habit BUT i choose to it is kind of a stress reliever
try punishing urself every time u do it. Maybe, no snacks or u pinch urself. If that doesn't work either tell someone, or just keep doing it. I crack my fingers and im not worried (separate from previous answer)...experts believe the habit of cracking ones bones is more psychological then physical. Its literally all in your head.

Its a habit i do it and it is harmful try doing stuff to stop like i wear a rubber band every time i crack my knuckles i simply snap it on my wrist
I used to crack my knuckles all the time, but i managed to quit. how? well, whenever i felt like cracking i bent and straightened my fingers until the urge was gone, and after, maybe a week, i managed to stop
cracking your bones lol
No, cracking your knuckles does not cause arthritis. The sound comes from small pockets of gas in the joint releasing. Studies have not found a direct link between knuckle cracking and arthritis.
Shouldn't
cracking your knuckles can become a habit, so you just need to work on decreasing the amount of times your crack your knuckles. Every time you reach to crack them, remember that the more you do, as you grow in age, you will begin to show the signs of arthritus. That should help your mindset (:
Its difficult to get rid of the habit of cracking your knuckles but you have to think of the risks of arthritis and other problems that may occur. What i usually do is either keep my fingers away from each other or have one hand occupied by twirling my pencil, tapping the desk, or crossing my arms. You just have to get the idea of cracking your knuckles out so you can get rid of that urge to pop them.

no. the cracking u hear is actually the nitrogen bubbles in your joints popping. its not when the bones in your knuckles are grinding together ~answeringchampion!
