What is the reason behind ankles popping?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Normal: As long as it isn't accompanied by pain, joint popping or cracking is fairly normal and shouldn't result in any long term issues. If you do develop pain, see a podiatrist or orthopedist for an evaluation of the joints.
