Those of you who are used to pressing fingers should read this

From our fingers to our feet to our necks, we all know a <x0-kirkcyt”. Many who are addicted have heard the legend that the frequent crackling of these knots causes arthritis. But are they true?

The nodes, such as those that connect fingers with the rest of the palm, have several spaces filled with a liquid called synovial fluid, which performs the function of grasos, that allows bone movement and prevents friction with one another.

When you snap your fingers or other joints, you expand the space between your bones. This expansion of space creates a negative tension that attracts the synovial fluid on the knot in this new space. The immediate introduction of fluid into this space is the crack you hear.

But is this harmful to knots? According to doctors, there is no evidence to prove it. Persistent crackling of joints may in time cause them to snap more simply, but this is not related to arthritis or any other disease.
