Can you crack your neck and back?

[tec699]

When I get tense I'll pull my neck a bit to the side and you can hear it cracking. Feels so good and when I need to crack my back I'll move side to side and you can hear some loud popping!

Feels good though!

 

Yes, both. Feels awesome.

 

[spherrod]

No to both - does that make me a bad person?

No, never have. I don't have any parts that crack or pop.

 

[tec699]

btw, does cracking the joints lead to arthritis? Is this a myth or what?

It's a myth. You're just popping nitrogen bubbles in your joints.

Really?
I've heard so many different explanations.
From air bubbles to your cartiladge popping into place or something.

 

[mrrman]

always do it...feels like pressure being relieved

 

[BriGy86]

yes to both

and i even saw on newtons apple on ch. 2- they said that your joints have air bubbles between them (could be nitrogen to, i can't remember) but when you crack your nuckles, back, neck, or other joint you pop that big bubble into lots of tiny bubbles and they also said that the arthitis is a myth

try having a chiro crack your neck/back.. BEST FEELING EVER! you feel like a new person!

 

[crab]

My neck is held together with titanium...so no.

 

[monk3y]

Yup and I do it all the time...

 

[Ikonomi]

Neck, no. Back, definitely.

 

[Nozirev]

As well as my shoulders, elbows, knees, finders, toes, ankle and wrist

Of all of them the elbows freak people out the most, because its the loudest by far.

 

[HombrePequeno]

I can do both. It grosses everyone out when I pop my neck (it's a pretty loud crack).

Popping your joints doesn't lead to arthritis but it does lead to weaker joints.

Best feeling is when I crack my back. Put my fist into my pack and push and it makes a realllly loud sound. Funny when I do it in the middle of class. I can roll my back over the arm rest on my couch and cracks it too.

 

[Sqube]

Yeah. When I pop my neck and/or back it's really loud.
