A new study reveals that cracking your knuckles does not cause arthritis.

According to a neurologist, the “cracking” sound that occurs when we crack our knuckles is not due to bones grinding or ligaments tearing, as some might assume. Instead, it is caused by rapid release and bursting of gas bubbles in the synovial fluid, a lubricating fluid that is found inside the joint. When we stretch or pull our fingers, the pressure inside the joints suddenly drops! This pressure changes allows dissolved gases, primarily nitrogen to form bubbles in the fluid. These bubbles then collapse or “pop,” producing the familiar cracking sound. It’s a natural, mechanical process, and importantly, not harmful.
