The Downsides to "Cracking" Your Joints

Do you feel the need to crack your knuckles throughout the day? 

When you roll your joints, do you hear them pop or click? 

While self-cracking might offer temporary relief due to endorphin release, it doesn't address the underlying issue. It can actually worsen the problem by:

• Overstressing healthy joints: The surrounding joints, already moving more than usual, take on
  additional strain.
• Accelerating wear and tear: Repeated self-manipulation can contribute to arthritis and degenerative disc disease.
• Masking a bigger problem: Self-cracking might temporarily relieve pain, but it doesn't address the root cause.
