📚Joint “popping” or “cracking” is often explained by a phenomenon called joint cavitation. When a joint is rapidly stretched, pressure inside the joint capsule drops, allowing dissolved gases in the synovial fluid to form a bubble, which produces the audible pop.
🧠Importantly, this sound is not bones rubbing together and, in most cases, is not harmful. Research suggests the noise occurs without joint damage and does not inherently indicate arthritis, degeneration, or injury.
🔎That said, not all pops are the same. Repetitive popping associated with pain, catching, swelling, or a sense of instability may reflect tendon movement, joint surface changes, or altered mechanics and is worth evaluating rather than ignoring.
