Popping your knuckles does not cause or increase the risk of Arthritis. The sound you hear when you crack your knuckles is a result of gas bubbles rapidly forming and collapsing in the synovial fluid of the joints. While some studies suggest that habitual knuckle popping may lead to hand swelling or reduced grip strength over time, it does not lead to arthritis. Overall, the habit is generally harmless.
