A member asked:
Is it bad to crack your joints? like fingers, wrist, neck and your back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Occassionaly: Pronbably best not to make this an habitual activity. The sound comes from the edge of one bone ridding over the other and repetitiveness might induce unneeded wear.
