| Yah it's definitely not good for you, even though it can make you feel better if you have a tight spot in your neck, back, etc. :toocool: |

i'd suggets you guys limit the amount of times you guys crack ur knuckles, necks, etc...reason? not only does it let air in which is a cause for arthritis, but each time you crack it, it shifts the joints and bones out of position. not as much so in your knuckles and arm joints...BUT in the neck and back, it can shift and rotate your vertebrae and eventually your spinal cord will be twisted out of shape. the result? you'll wake up one day and you won't be able to move your neck or back. this happened to a track coach of mine who is now a chiropractor/sports education speaker to warn young adults about this.
hehe, didn't mean to put a damper on your fun (i used to crack pretty much everything too) but it's a warning worth following. |

i do my fingers every once in a while or my toes as well. i do my back usually if it's hurting or something..usually feels lots better afterwards - kinda the same effect as going to a chiropractic i guess:D

crikey i crack my fingers and back all the time in school..im 6'1" so the chairs are too small and i have horrible posture in them so my back always get thrown out of whack. i just twist and crack crack crack. i can tell when my back is out of whack cause ill get headaches and feel like crap. if you have your back cracked right you feel like a million bucks afterward.
about the whole fingers thing ive heard the two sides....one side being it causes arthritis..and the other being that its just the air(which is already in your joints) just moving around kinda fast and it doesnt really do any damgage.
i am personally not a doctor so i can make an statements on this myself but i crack them al the time so i guess i really dont care.
yeah girls well at least one that i hang around with absolutely hates the sound when i crack my knuckles. ill crack one and she's like MIKE STOP and she grabs my hands so i cant do it anymore.....hmm i gotta try the cracking penis thing :p |
