 Sanjiv Naidu, M.D., Ph.D., a professor of orthopaedics and rehabilitation at the Penn State College of Medicine
and an orthopaedic surgeon at Hershey Medical Center posted an interesting article on joint cracking and the risk of permanent damage mentioning our growing community:
Although the actual process of cracking a knuckle may take only a few
milliseconds, the relief that some people feel from it is palpable.
Chiropractors make a business out of manipulating joints to reduce
stress, and dedicated joint-crackers even have their
own Web site and discussion board, on which to exchange anecdotes. If you're among them, it's likely that
the only consequences you'll face for your popping and snapping will be
comments from friends and funny looks from innocent bystanders.
Let's hope what he writes is true and we are really just following a strange hobby of sorts with no underlying physiological root cause. In any case it cannot possible harm to share more anecdotes! :)
