This is the more interesting part of the process to me. Like... okay, so if this is the whole story, why can't you crack your knuckles *indefinitely* by creating negative pressure, generating and collapsing a cavitation bubble? Also, if this is the case, and there's no precursor event, why does every knuckle cracker know when they can crack their knuckles?

I just find it interesting that when I'm feeling more tense or stiff, cracking relaxes my hands which is why I keep doing it

As a 40 year knuckle cracker and diver, I can honestly say it doesn't cause arthritis but I can say that nitrogen builds up in the body, the joints you normally crack get stiff and sore, sometimes for days depending on your dive depth, ascent rate, and temperature.

"It does not lead to arthritis." 'Cracking your knuckles does no harm at all to our joints. It does not lead to arthritis,' says Dr. Klapper That's all the evidence I need.

School is a scam nowadays, doesn't matter if it's grade school, college/university or trade school. The way schools teach students as well as the subjects and information they focus on have been outdated for the demands of modern society for decades, wheras online sites like KZread can keep up with the changing demands and needs of a rapidly evolving society.

All the years studying to be an Osteopath, and this is honestly the best explanation I have heard. I love your videos, extremely informative.

My old man used to tell me all the time "you keep that up you'll have arthritis by the time you're 20". I started cracking my knuckles when I was in the 3rd grade and I'm 47 now. My hands are just fine and I'm still cracking my knuckles. And my dad is still giving me a hard time about it. Which is just fine with me.

Hi! Classical musician with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome here, a condition that affects joints and often makes patients like me crackle a LOT, in joints all over the body, without trying to! I get told it's rude for me to crack my joints in public, when due to my condition, I'm actually in a lot of pain if I DON'T crack them. People try to explain to me all the time, "Oh, that's so bad for you!" and I keep having to tell them, "No, it's not! The science says it doesn't do any damage, and I'm in pain that gets relieved (to an extent) when this joint pops!" So thanks for making this video - I'll be linking it next time anyone tries to tell me what they think I should and shouldn't be doing with my chronically ill body!

All depends on the chiropractor. Gonstead chiropractors tend to be the best though. Like any profession there's a large number of mediocre people, a few really good ones, and then a bunch of bad ones as well. However we tend to pay most attention to the really bad ones and make a judgment based on those ones, even more so if you are biased against it. Dr. Ian and Dr. Rahim are two incredible Gonstead Chiros worth checking out. A few of the biggest distinguishing factors between good and bad practioners is methodology, as well as the understanding of basic principles and foundations (which can really translate to any profession).

@@seattlesix9953 sounds like a sublux. Not surprised a chiro fixed it. I had 2 dislocations. On my second one after I woke up from the drugs, I knew it was still out, told the doctors and they stood there and laughed at me and told me it was the drugs talking, sent me for another X-Ray and when they got it back they realized how wrong they were (which probably hurts as a doctor, especially when your patient is drugged up). Also to add to their pain, that dislocation wasn't even bad and shoulder reductions are quite simple.

Greatly appreciate the nuanced explanation about how science is a process in this video! Some people see two conflicting theories and think A is newer so B is wrong and dumb, when in reality the work of one often *leads* to another, and sometimes we come back to old theories when the data suggests. Science isn't a fight, it's everybody trying to figure out the answer together.

What a great video! I work in machine automation and milliseconds is the typical unit of time. We've had similar issues in measurements taken out of phase with the recording mechanism. An experiment with the MRI could yield the answer if it were repeated enough times. A bell curve could be charted from the samples and the answer that nagging question about the timing of the crack, at the beginning or the end. If course a 1ms scan rate of the MRI would be better! But maybe I can find another thousand videos on the subject and derive the answer that way, lol.
