A member asked:

Is cracking your back good in the long run?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No known problem: It used to be thought this would cause arthritis, but a studies show no relationship (http://www.Medicalnewstoday.Com/articles/259603.Php). It will probably bother those around you though, so it may not be good for your relationships ;).
