Plus, what’s actually happening in the body when you crack a joint?
In certain cases, though, cracking your joints in a particular way can lead to potential issues. “Cracking [the joints] too aggressively might contribute to muscle, tendon, or ligament injuries, but those are very rare scenarios,” Dr. Nguyen says.
The difference between cracking your own neck and having an expert—like a licensed chiropractor, physical therapist, or osteopathic physician—doing an adjustment comes down to what the therapist can deduce beforehand, Schwartz says. “You’ve had some imaging to make sure everything’s okay, they’ve done a full neurological test, full orthopedic test, they’ve looked at everything prior,” Schwartz says. In other words, they aren’t going in blind when they adjust a part of the body.
