What are the advantages of knuckle cracking?

There are none really. "The common parental advice "cracking your knuckles gives you arthritis" is not supported by any evidence. A study concluded that there was no increased preponderance of arthritis of the hand in either group; however, habitual knuckle crackers were more likely to have hand swelling and lower grip strength. Habitual knuckle cracking was associated with manual labour, biting of the nails, smoking, and drinking alcohol in the study participants and their families. It was concluded that habitual knuckle cracking results in functional hand impairment and therefore should be discouraged"

What happens when someone cracks their knuckles?

Cracking knuckles is the result of a gas bubble forming in the synovial fluid within the joints, and the popping sound is caused by the bubble collapsing. Contrary to the common myth, there is no scientific evidence linking knuckle cracking to arthritis. However, excessive knuckle cracking may lead to reduced grip strength over time.


Does cracking you knuckles lead to artiritus?

No, knuckle cracking does not lead to arthritis. It is an old tale told over and over again. The human condition is to link every action with a negative or positive effect. Because there is a "cracking" sound, the human condition is to consider this action bad. All that is occurring is the rapid release of gases from the joint capsule back into the blood stream. There is no harm in this. Also, there has never been a legitimate study that said that "knuckle-crackers" were more prone to arthritis. On another note, there have been studies saying that the excessive and unnatural movement of the joints such as "knuckle-cracking," can cause ligament damage and even dislocation of tendons. Hope this helps!


Is knuckle popping bad?

No actually! An experiment was done and when you crack your knuckles an explosion happens (Now don't get me wrong. Your knuckles are not blowing up.) and that is what causes the cracking sound. Despite the "explosion" the knuckle remains intact and unharmed.
