Tips to help me stop cracking my knuckles?
Anyone have any tips to help me stop cracking my knuckles? On & off over the years, I’ve had many people say it could be a health issue, etc. If I wanted to stop cracking them, is there a good way to learn to break the habit?
Dear tigerman, Although it is possible that prolonged joint stress due to cracking knuckles may eventually lead to a higher risk of joint damage. The long-term consequences of this practice have not been studied thoroughly, and the scientific evidence is inconclusive. However, the common parental advice “Cracking your knuckles gives you arthritis” may be simply a device to deter children from this practice, because many people find the sound annoying. In fact, a study by Castellanos and Axelrod found that arthritis was not a product of knuckle cracking. They evaluated outpatients at Mount Carmel Mercy Hospital to determine whether habitual knuckle cracking is a risk factor for hand dysfunction. They found no relation with osteoarthritis, but noted that ‘knuckle crackers were more likely to have hand swelling and lower grip strength.’ If you want to stop then replace the habit as suggested. Sue…good luck
use one of those sponge ball thingies……..its a sign of nervousness or anxiety, so just use one of those sponge squeeze things and if you get a flat one, you can also put it in your pocket or on your desk at work and use that whenever you feel like popping your knuckles…..
or go from one bad habit to the next, start biting your nails…..hehe……just kidding on that one
hope this helps…..
this is not a health issue its just a habbit it wont mess up your joints
