How to stop cracking my knuckles and neck?

Can you stop cracking your back easily I have tried before and I've leared it's much harder than I imagined I also crack my knuckles and my neck Arthritis runs through my family and I need help?

• Answer:

  Habits are hard things to break and different people find different ways to get around these thongs. cracking your joints does not cause arthritis. The sound you hear is the release of gas from the sinovial fluid of the joint. and aside from stretching ligaments and connective tissues is fairly harmless. However The joints in the neck and back are also the places where a lot of nerves run to the body from the spinal chord and although i dont know for sure if your habit is harmful I do know that it doesnt take a great deal to give you all kinds of problems if these nerves are interfered with. I would do my best to shed myself of the habit just in case,
