The answer is yes. This is not to say that injury alwayshappens, but continual/repeating 'cracking' of the spine can leadto serious problems.
When one pops his own joints, the sound is only nitrogen gasreleased due to the negative pressure within the joint capsule. Theproblem can arise from chronic overstress of the supportingligaments.
When a person feels the need to 'pop' his neck, for example, hegenerally does so out of a need to release a certain amount oftension or discomfort that has built up in the joint structures.This is due to misalignments of the vertebral structures, or afixation of the spinal joint(s).
Your joints, including those in your knuckles, are surrounded by a membrane called the synovial membrane, which forms a capsule around the ends of your bones. Inside this membrane is synovial fluid, which acts as a lubricant and shock absorber so your bones don’t grind together when you move. 'Cracking joints' and 'popping knuckles' are an interesting and poorly understood phenomenon. There are many theories as to why joints crack or pop, but the exact cause is simply not known.
The pain in my joints, especially my neck, upper shoulders, lower back, legs, knees, etc. Was almost unbearable. It has now been almost eight months and I am still experiencing joint pains that seem to move around my body: one day my neck hurts; another day it’s my knees, thighs, hamstrings; then my back is affected. 'Cracking joints' and 'popping knuckles' are an interesting and poorly understood phenomenon. There are many theories as to why joints crack or pop, but the exact cause is simply not known.
As the person pops his neck, he most often only pops thestructures of least resistance and not the structure of greatestfixation. (This is why there always seems to be a continual desireto pop the joint again, just shortly after already being popped.)Because the fixation remains, there is an incredible motivation torepeat the 'self-correction.'
This supposedly harmless pop sound is only gas released from thetissues, but this only happens as a result of a person putting agreat deal of stress into the joint. This stress stretches theligaments of the surrounding joint, leaving them more and moreunstable with every pop.
Perpetual instability also occurs, because the original fixationis not corrected. The spine is designed to move as a unit. If amotor unit is not moving correctly, the joints above, below, orboth will compensate by moving more than they should. This givesthe body the same amount of movement, but with a side-effect ofhypermobility.
Again, self adjusting only adds to greater hypermobility andgreater instability. When the structure of the spine reaches acertain level of instability, the body fixes it by creating abrace. In other words the joint grows a bone bridge between the twovertebrae, permanently stabalizing the joint by a process calledosteophytosis. This is also is known as osteoarthritis of thespine, or degenerative joint disease. This ispermanent/irreversable, not to mention serious.
This creates a great deal of problems for the nervous system andthe musculoskeletal system. So why does the body do this? It's justnot willing to risk the danger that spinal instability poses to thebody. The risks with instability include paralysis or death. Thebody is doing what it believes to be in its best interest, even ifyou're not pleased by its performance (it definitely hasn't beenpleased with yours).
A chiropractor is trained to eliminate the fixation of theproblematic joints of the spine. The motion is done with muchgreater speed and precision than any person can do to themselves.By using greater acceleration in the adjustment, they eliminatemore torque and damage into the joint. (Think of pulling a tablecloth off of a set table with the greatest amount of speed posible,compared to a much slower pulling of the table cloth. The fasterthe pull, the cleaner the outcome.)
Plus, chiropractors are moving the joint in a specific vector ofcorrection, not just popping it any which way for releif. Theirtechnique allows the correction of spinal distortion with minimalnegative effects on the body.
This game of self correction is more than popping knuckles. Iteffects spinal integrity, and therefor the central nervoussystem.
