Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Depends: The first question would be - where exactly is the popping/clicking? Knee? Ankle? Foot? Oftentimes, if there is painless clicking then nothing needs to be done. However, if there is associated pain or instability then do see an orthopedist for further evaluation.
