Articulating joints: This is similar to cracking your knuckles. You're not damaging anything, but you're hearing a large popping sound in the vacuum of a air is released. Often times this provides relief, the more often you do it, this is also the problem that it causes, because you're overdoing it. You might benefit from having seen by a osteopathic physician, who can evaluate diagnose and treat it, so that you won't have anymore popping sound in that area.
