        Wikipedia says “The common claim that cracking one’s knuckles causes arthritis is not supported by any scientific evidence.”

        It’s definitely an oft-repeated claim, but it sounds like there’s (at best) no evidence of it.

        well, you can snap your fingers in half, or cause damage to spine nerves. Only if you try too hard, if it isn’t cracking right now, it is for the best to stop at that, or try different method. But if it cracks right away in your healthy body parts, then this is good.

        Also avoid neck cracking, it can really mess you up to death.
