Does cracking your knuckles really cause arthritis? 🤔
You've probably heard this myth countless times—but the truth might surprise you!
The popping sound you hear comes from tiny gas bubbles in your joint fluid, not from your bones rubbing together. Research shows that knuckle cracking itself does not cause arthritis.
However, if your joints are painful, swollen, stiff, or start cracking after an injury, it's important to get them evaluated by an orthopaedic specialist.
🎥 Watch this reel to separate myth from fact and make informed decisions about your joint health.
