What causes joints to pop in and out of place?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Subluxation: Common more with shoulders and is due to ligamentous laxity or after a traumatic injury like a dislocation. The hip is also a joint that can sublux as well. There are some genetic reason that there is more ligament laxity in some people.
