New study shows knuckle-cracking is actually good for you. The study by hand surgeon Dr. Robert was presented in December at a meeting of the Radiological Society of North America.
The study confirmed the results of a study from last year showing the the sound is produced by the creation of a gas bubble just as happens when we flip the tab on a soda can.
The study showed no adverse effects, and in fact showed benefit of increased range of motion. This is not surprising to doctors of chiropractic as we commonly see or feel increased range of motion after manipulations/adjustments and that is the main reason we adjust joints.
We are not "putting bones back in place". Joints are the hinges of the body and increasing the joints' range of motion always the body to move more correctly with less stress.
