Joint cracking<\/span> is one of the most common reasons people seek advice for musculoskeletal problems. A knee that crackles when climbing stairs, a hip that clicks while walking, a shoulder that pops when lifting your arm, or knuckles that crack when stretched\u2026 These sounds are so common that they often raise the same question: Is this normal, or is it a sign that something is wrong?<\/span> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The good news is that, in most cases, joint noises are completely harmless. A cracking or popping sound does not necessarily mean that a joint is worn out, out of place or becoming damaged<\/span>. However, if it is accompanied by persistent pain, swelling, loss of movement or occurs after an injury, it deserves a more thorough assessment. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At Aliantis Clinic<\/a><\/span>, we are not an emergency medical service and we do not provide medical diagnoses. Our role is to help you better understand your symptoms, regain confidence in movement and support your recovery through an active, evidence-based approach. If we identify warning signs that require medical assessment, we will guide you towards the most appropriate healthcare professional. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Why do joints crack?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Our bodies are designed to move. Every joint is made up of bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, a joint capsule and a lubricating fluid called synovial fluid. These structures work together constantly and can sometimes produce perfectly normal sounds. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

What causes a joint to crack?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A common misconception is that a cracking sound means the bones are rubbing against each other. In reality, this is rarely the case. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Joint noises can result from several different mechanisms. They may be caused by the normal movement of joint surfaces, changes in pressure within the synovial fluid, a tendon moving over a bony prominence or the movement of soft tissues surrounding the joint.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

All of these mechanisms can produce a sound without indicating any injury or damage.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Why a cracking joint is usually nothing to worry about<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

One of the most common myths is that every joint noise signals a problem.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In reality, many people have noisy joints for years without experiencing any pain or limitations. On the other hand, it is entirely possible to have a significant injury without hearing any cracking at all. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In other words, the sound itself tells us very little about the health of a join<\/span>t. What really matters is the context, the associated symptoms and how they affect your daily life. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\ud83d\udca1 Did you know?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Some people have had noisy joints since childhood and never develop osteoarthritis. Others develop significant osteoarthritis without their joints making any noticeable sounds. A cracking joint does not, by itself, reflect the health of the joint<\/span>. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The different types of joint noises<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Not all joint sounds have the same cause. Understanding the differences can help you better interpret what your body is telling you. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

A painless, occasional crack<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

This is the familiar \u201ccrack\u201d that happens when standing up after sitting for a long time, stretching your back or moving a joint that has been still for a while.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If it happens occasionally, is painless and your joint functions normally, it is usually considered a completely normal physiological phenomenon.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Knee crepitus<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Some people describe a sensation similar to \u201cgrinding\u201d, \u201ccrunching\u201d or \u201crice crispies\u201d when climbing stairs, squatting or getting up from a chair.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This type of joint noise is very common in both younger and older adults and does not necessarily mean you have osteoarthritis<\/span>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When knee crepitus is associated with pain, current international guidelines recommend focusing primarily on therapeutic exercise, muscle strengthening, education and a gradual return to activity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

A snapping tendon<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

At the hip, shoulder, wrist or ankle, some people experience a snapping or clicking sensation that occurs during the same movement every time.<\/p>\n

This is often caused by a tendon moving over a bony prominence.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As long as it is painless, this is usually harmless. However, if it becomes painful or starts limiting your activities, a personalised programme focusing on mobility, strength and load management can often make a significant difference. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Clicking in the jaw<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Jaw clicking is also very common.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Many people experience clicking in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) for years without developing any significant problems. However, if the clicking is accompanied by pain, difficulty opening the mouth or episodes of locking, it is advisable to seek professional assessment. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\ud83d\udca1 Common myth<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIf a joint cracks, it must be wearing out.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

False.<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Many perfectly healthy joints naturally produce sounds during movement. What matters is not the noise itself, but whether it is associated with pain, swelling, reduced movement or instability. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Why do some joints crack more than others?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Some joints naturally make more noise than others because they are subjected to greater loads throughout the day and are surrounded by numerous muscles and tendons. As a result, it is perfectly normal for certain areas of the body to produce more cracking, clicking or popping sounds. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Why does my knee crack?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The knee supports much of your body weight and is involved in almost every movement you make, whether you\u2019re walking, climbing stairs, running or squatting.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For this reason, cracking and crepitus are especially common in the knee.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If there is no pain or swelling, a cracking knee rarely requires treatment. However, when pain develops, it is far more useful to assess how well the knee tolerates movement and loading than to focus solely on the noise itself. Current international clinical guidelines consistently recommend education, therapeutic exercise and progressive strengthening as the cornerstone of care for most non-traumatic knee conditions. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Why does my shoulder crack?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This exceptional range of motion relies on a complex interaction between muscles, tendons and ligaments to keep the joint stable. As a result, it is not unusual to hear clicking or popping sounds when lifting the arm or during sporting activities. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If these sounds are not accompanied by pain, weakness or loss of function, they are usually considered completely normal.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Why does my hip click?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The so-called snapping hip syndrome <\/span>is relatively common.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It occurs when a tendon moves over a bony prominence during certain movements. Although the sound can be quite noticeable, it is usually harmless. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If the clicking becomes painful, a personalised exercise programme focusing on hip mobility, muscle strength and movement control is generally the most effective approach.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Why do my back and neck crack?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The spine is probably the area of the body where joint cracking is noticed most often. After spending several hours sitting at a desk or remaining in the same position, many people naturally stretch or rotate their neck and back, sometimes producing one or more cracking sounds. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In most cases, these noises are simply part of the normal mechanics of the spinal joints and do not mean that a vertebra is \u201cout of place\u201d or has been \u201cput back into alignment.<\/span>\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If the cracking occurs on its own and is not associated with pain, weakness or changes in sensation, it is generally not a cause for concern.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, if cracking is accompanied by severe pain, numbness, tingling, muscle weakness or symptoms radiating into an arm or a leg, it is important to seek medical assessment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Is it normal for my knuckles to crack?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Knuckle cracking is extremely common and, despite what many people have been told, current scientific evidence has not shown that it causes osteoarthritis<\/span>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The sound does not come from bones rubbing together but from a physical phenomenon occurring inside the joint.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Some people never feel the need to crack their knuckles, while others do it regularly. Both situations are perfectly normal. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\ud83d\udca1 Did you know?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Once a joint has cracked, it usually takes 20 to 30 minutes<\/span> before it can produce the same sound again. This is because the gases within the synovial fluid need time to dissolve back into the joint fluid. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Is cracking your joints bad for you?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

This is one of the most common questions we hear in the clinic.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Many people crack their fingers, neck or back because it provides an immediate feeling of relief. But is this habit actually harmful? <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Does cracking your knuckles cause arthritis?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

No.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Despite being one of the most persistent myths about joints, research has found no evidence that cracking your knuckles increases the risk of developing osteoarthritis.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That said, constantly cracking the same joint because it always feels stiff or uncomfortable may be a sign that something else deserves attention. Rather than repeatedly seeking temporary relief, it is often more helpful to understand why the sensation keeps returning. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Why does cracking a joint feel good?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Many people report an immediate feeling of release, improved mobility or reduced stiffness after a joint cracks.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This sensation is genuine. However, it does not mean that a joint has been put back into place<\/span>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Current evidence suggests that the feeling of relief is mainly related to temporary changes in how the nervous system processes movement, muscle tension and pain.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In other words, the cracking sound itself is not what produces the therapeutic effect. It simply accompanies certain movements.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\ud83d\udca1 Common myth<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIf a joint cracks, it has gone back into place.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

False.<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In most cases, the sound is caused by a normal physical process called cavitation<\/span>, which results from a rapid change in pressure inside the joint. It does not mean that a bone, vertebra or joint was out of alignment. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Joint cracking in osteopathy: what is really happening?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

For many people, osteopathy<\/a> is closely associated with the familiar \u201ccrack.\u201d In reality, however, the science behind this phenomenon is far more interesting than many people realise. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Why do some osteopathic techniques produce a cracking sound?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

During certain manual techniques, a characteristic popping sound may be heard.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This phenomenon is known as joint cavitation<\/span>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When two joint surfaces separate rapidly, the pressure inside the joint briefly decreases. This causes tiny gas bubbles to form within the synovial fluid, producing the familiar cracking sound.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is a normal physical event. In most cases, it is painless and does not damage the joint<\/span>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Is a treatment more effective if the joint cracks?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

No.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is probably one of the most widespread misconceptions about osteopathy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A manipulation that produces a crack is not more effective than one that doesn\u2019t. Likewise, a treatment session during which several joints crack is not necessarily better than a completely silent session.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Current research suggests that the benefits of manual therapy are multifactorial. They are thought to result from a combination of neurophysiological responses, temporary pain modulation, improved movement, reduced muscle guarding and increased confidence in returning to normal activities.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In other words, the sound itself is not the treatment<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Can osteopathy work without joint manipulation?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Absolutely.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Osteopathy is far more than joint manipulation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Depending on your symptoms, medical history, preferences and clinical findings, treatment may include gentle joint mobilisation, soft tissue techniques, therapeutic exercise, education about pain and practical advice to help you gradually return to the activities that matter to you.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At Aliantis Clinic, joint manipulation is never a goal in itself. It is simply one tool among many and is only used when it is appropriate, safe and aligned with your individual needs<\/a>. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Our aim is not to make your joints crack\u2014it is to help you move more comfortably, confidently and independently.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\ud83d\udca1 Did you know?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Excellent results can be achieved in osteopathy without hearing a single crack<\/span>. The quality of treatment depends on an accurate clinical assessment, sound clinical reasoning and a personalised rehabilitation plan\u2014not on the noise produced during treatment. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

When should you seek medical advice?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Although most joint noises are completely harmless, some situations require prompt medical assessment<\/a>. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Warning signs that should not be ignored<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

You should seek medical advice if a joint suddenly cracks following a significant injury and is immediately followed by severe pain, an inability to bear weight or major loss of movement.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rapid swelling, redness, warmth around the joint or the presence of fever also warrant urgent medical assessment, as these symptoms may indicate infection or another condition requiring immediate treatment.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A joint that suddenly locks, repeatedly gives way or becomes unstable should also be evaluated.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Finally, if cracking in the neck or back is accompanied by numbness, persistent tingling, muscle weakness, balance problems or symptoms radiating into the arm or leg, medical assessment is recommended.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The important message is simple: it is not the sound that matters most, but the symptoms that accompany it<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

What should you do if your joints crack?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

For most people, the best approach is surprisingly simple: keep moving.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Stay active<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

For many years, rest was routinely recommended for painful joints. Today, international clinical guidelines consistently recommend maintaining an appropriate level of physical activity whenever possible<\/span>. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Regular movement helps maintain joint mobility, preserve muscle strength and improve the body\u2019s ability to tolerate everyday activities.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The goal is not to ignore pain, but to gradually restore confidence in movement.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Adapt your activity instead of stopping completely<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

If a particular movement becomes painful, reducing its intensity temporarily is usually more effective than stopping it altogether.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Modifying training, reducing repetitive loading or temporarily adjusting certain activities often allows symptoms to settle while maintaining overall fitness.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This gradual approach generally leads to better long-term outcomes than prolonged rest.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Common mistakes<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

One of the biggest mistakes is believing that every joint should become completely silent.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The reality is that many healthy people will continue to have noisy joints throughout their lives without ever developing a problem.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Another common mistake is relying solely on passive treatments. Modern rehabilitation focuses on helping people understand their condition, remain active and progressively rebuild strength and confidence. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\ud83d\udca1 Did you know?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Athletes often have noisier joints than less active people. This doesn\u2019t necessarily mean they have more injuries\u2014it simply reflects the greater movement, loading and demands placed on their joints and tendons. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Key takeaways<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Joint cracking is extremely common and, in most cases, is completely normal.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A cracking sound alone does not mean that a joint is damaged, worn out or out of alignment. What matters far more is whether it is associated with pain, swelling, instability, reduced movement or neurological symptoms. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Current international guidelines consistently show that the most effective approach involves understanding the problem, staying physically active, following an individualised exercise programme and gradually returning to normal activities. Manual therapy can be a valuable part of treatment, but it works best as part of a comprehensive, evidence-based rehabilitation programme. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Healthy movement doesn\u2019t have to be silent. What truly matters is being able to move freely, comfortably and confidently. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Is it normal for my knees to crack when climbing stairs? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes. If there is no pain, swelling or instability, knee cracking is usually a normal finding and rarely indicates a serious problem. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Does cracking your knuckles cause arthritis? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t

No. Current scientific evidence has found no link between knuckle cracking and the development of osteoarthritis. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Why does my shoulder click when I lift my arm? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t

The sound often comes from the normal movement of tendons or joint structures. If it is painless and does not affect your strength or function, it is usually nothing to worry about. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Does an osteopathic treatment need to produce a crack to work? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

No. A manipulation can be just as effective without producing any sound. The quality of treatment depends on clinical reasoning and appropriate patient care\u2014not on whether a joint cracks. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

When should I seek medical advice? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

You should seek medical assessment if joint cracking follows an injury, is associated with severe pain, swelling, instability, joint locking or neurological symptoms such as numbness or muscle weakness.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
