Do you ever wonder why your joints crack? There are a few simple reasons.
Our bodies tend to creak and groan at the best of times, especially as we age. This is often due to a condition called crepitus, which describes any grinding, creaking, grating, cracking, popping or crunching that occurs when your joints move. Sometimes the sounds your body makes can be loud enough for other people to hear.
Often, crepitus is painless and doesn’t mean anything is seriously wrong. However, if it occurs with symptoms such as pain or trauma, there may be a more serious underlying medical condition so it’s wise to consult with your health practitioner.
Here are some of the common reasons why your body may get a little noisy especially around the neck, back and joints:
Articular pressure changes
Facet joints are where the back of adjacent vertebrae join together. Inside each facet joint is synovial fluid, which lubricates the joints. Tiny gas bubbles can form and eventually collapse within synovial joints. As they are released, they can create a cracking, crunching or popping sound, which is harmless.
Ligament or tendon moving around bone
Ligaments and tendons both attach to bones. A ligament or tendon may make a snapping sound as it moves around a bone and/or over each other. This occurs because our muscles and tissues are too tight, or when they become less elastic as we age.
Bone-on-bone grinding
Facet joints degenerate due to osteoarthritis or disc generation, which results in less cushioning between the vertebrae. This can cause adjacent vertebral bones to rub against each other, causing a grinding noise or sensation.
Chiropractors can relieve the symptoms of crepitus. If you need any help alleviating creaks, cracks, pops and groans in your body contact Lane Chiropractic Pottsville on 6676 2270.
