IS KNUCKLE-CRACKING BAD?

Many people "crack" or "pop" their knuckles or even their back and neck. It usually provides some relief from tension, but only temporarily. One misconception is that this practice leads to more wear and tear and can lead to arthritis. As you can see in the video below, this is not true. However, if you have to "crack" your own joints often, it does show that there is dysfunction in the way the joints are moving and the way the nerves are functioning. One of our goals is to restore proper spinal joint and nerve function. Once your spine is subluxation-free, the need to do this becomes less and your body will be able to correct any joint fixations in a much quieter and comfortable way.
