      Just cause one person did that doesn't mean it won't occur for another, theirs not enough information it could simply increase the chance of arthritis etc It probaly doesn't however their needs to be a bigger sample size than one person.

      @@mortson978 I should have written digits instead, I guess.
      We do not have a separate word like "toes", so we are just saying "digits of the foot" and just "digits" for us usually means "fingers", a.k.a. digits of the hand, if that makes any sense for you.
      Meanwhile "digits" for us means "numbers" and can't be used to describe fingers or toes, so I guess we are actually saying "end/tip/point of the hand/foot". Something like that.
      Пальцы - digits (usually we mean fingers);
      Пальцы на руках - fingers;
      Пальцы на ногах - toes;
      Числа - digits, numbers.

      *"How we can hear so loud pop from such a small bubble"* How loud it is depends only on the amount of energy released, not the size. Some fraction of the power you use to pull your knuckles apart is harvested to enable the bubbles to form. Think how easy it is to use a clicker, or bash pots and pans together. Your arms have the power to make very loud sounds!

    There are a lot of different causes of crepitus( joint sounds), but the one explained in this video is the most common. Excess pressure on joints is often caused by muscle tightness. There is sometimes a neurological effect that relaxes the involved muscles when joints cavitate, particularly in the spine, which is why chiropractic works sometimes. It can be life changing for some people. Lot of chiropractors selling snake oil though, whether they mean to or not.

      @jc3001 2 года назад +4

      I'm a chiropractor and I don't disagree with you, but things are rapidly turning around in the field. A lot of chiros are now able to perform functional medicine along with adjusting. Don't listen to the chiropractors who want to talk about their "philosophy" of releasing the body's "innate". There is so much actual research showing the efficacy of chiropractic treatment, especially in avoiding opioids for pain management. It's an incredible field that unfortunately has given itself a bad name (along with the AMA smears) over the years.

    • @scottheaton8469
      @scottheaton8469 2 года назад

      @@jc3001 I think often the best thing a chiropractor does is to encourage people to be healthy, and it might not even matter too much what is said if the person gets the message. Loses weight for example.
      So strangely I almost side with the philosophy side of things over science. People aren't always logical or even smart at all, explaining science well isn't always the best course of action.
      And some weird old chiropractic beliefs I feel are correct. I rather agree with germ theory. I also think most vaccines have always been ridiculous.

    It's interesting that cracking your knuckles might weaken your grip -- I find that if my knuckles have gone unpopped for a while (especially after I've just woken up) that my hands feel stiff and my grip feels weaker (easily rectified by cracking the knuckles). I also found that if I started playing the piano not having cracked my knuckles that I'd have a harder time with anything that required higher dexterity or faster movement.

    I’ve heard this same theory a bunch of times, and it always leaves the same two unanswered questions: why are the pops so loud, and how can some people pop the same joint repeatedly, without pause?
    I’ve heard some popped joints as loud as a pane of glass being shattered, which seems improbable if caused by a bubble bursting. Also, I can-hypothetically-pop my big toe at a rate of twice per second from here to infinity, without it getting sore (although the muscle atop my foot will from repeated stretching) or losing the crispness of the popping sound, and have, on multiple occasions, done it for minutes at a time to show off this weird ‘talent’ to others. How is that possible, since there should theoretically be a limit to the amount of bubbles that can burst before they are depleted?

      My big toe sometimes does the same thing; I don't think it's the same phenomenon. It feels and sounds different. I think it's actually the bones rubbing against each other, or maybe a tendon being plucked when it gets stuck on something. The pops are loud because bubbles forming from sudden depressurization - cavitation - and then collapsing is a very powerful thing. Cavitation on the surfaces of ship propellers can eventually destroy them, and some scientists think cavitation causes such a surge of pressure that small amounts of fusion can happen at the center.

    For some reason, every time I bend my right knee more than a little bit, I hear it pop. No matter how many times I do it, or how frequently I do it, I hear the pop, ever when I do it continuously for a minute!
    The real problem, however, is that my teacher says it's a bad thing, as this involuntary popping is usually seen in old age, and I am afraid he may just be right....

    YES!!! I pop my knuckles all the time so I’m glad it doesn’t cause arthritis! Although it has made some joints hurt for a little while, but I just have to stretch them and they’ll be fine.

    I flew to amsterdam once with my buddy, that pillar ordered us a room for the whole trip (8 straight days) in with 8 more other people inside. which is normal for maybe a day or two.. we tried a couple of things (such as getting freightlnly stoned in a foreign country first time) nothing helped, we stayed in that room for 8 days.
    than on the second day this american-chinese girl came to the room for an overnight in the room, and we all went to sleep (full room) and we came back with my buddy at around 12am quietly went to sleep also but couldn't manage to sleep so fast as expected.
    I cracked my knuckles in my feet, my buddy cracked knuckles at his toes, than me, than him again. this went back and forth as I saw this as a point of mockery of who can make his knuckles crack louder and that asian chick wen't all bananas without even knowing who was doing the cracking noises! the cracking stopped.
    the next day we chatted with another couple that've stayed more then a couple of nights and they said it was totally un-called for that she yelled at that noise lmao

    Can anybody else do it as well? I haven't met someone who can yet.

      I cracked my fingers for round about 18 years now and unfortunately I noticed at different occasions that my grip strength suffered alot although I'm in a handcrafts trade and workout. :-(
      But I cant stop anymore. My fingers feel completely stiff if I dont crack em regularly

      Diamond Emerald diagnosis happens at the doctors. But you probably just keep it in one position for a long time or workout and then suddenly you extend and it hurts. Pretty sure it happens to everyone but if you think it’s severely painful, go to a hospital to check what’s up
