Joint cracking has been linked to Tourette's syndrome by Steviemfc:

Quote:
Like you I had never heard of joint cracking being linked with TS either, however the representative of Tourettes Scotland was saying at the recent OCDUK conference in Stirling that cracking joints is a really common symptom for lots of TS sufferers.


Post here if you have more conclusive evidence on this.

Never ever heard of this before.

I don't really see how it is linked either - maybe if it is something to do with in the brain? Confused

People have that feeling without even having tourettes but deciding to start cracking.

OCD is an anxiety disorder, and joint-cracking seems to relieve physiological tension. I'm a bit obsessive, also. Hence, the theory wins my seal of plausibility approval.
