A member asked:
I have cracking in my arches, if i don't crack them my arches hurt. i use small balls to pop them, which doesn't hurt to me, but others say it does.

Keep Cracking.: It seems a small price to pay in order to have painless arches. As long as you have no other symptoms, I see no immediate reason to change you success. This doesn't mean that other symptoms related to the popping, may not develop in the future. For now, it works.
