Loading...We’ve all cracked our knuckles at some point in our lives, if by accident. It’s just a natural thing that happens when you bend your fingers back far enough, and even if we don’t like it, it’s inevitable that you will either see someone do it or accidentally do it yourself. Over the years, people have given the seemingly innocent habit of cracking your knuckles an unhealthy connotation, so much so that people think it may cause arthritis.

In this interesting video by Vox, you’ll learn all about what really makes the cracking sound when you crack your knuckles, and if it could be bad for you.
