Cracking your knuckles can accomplish many things, such as releasing tension in your fingers, keeping your hands busy, and even freak people out.How do you do it?We should count the ways.
Step 1: Attach your hands together.
Think about how someone would hold a die in a dice game.The first thing to do is limber up your fingers.
Step 2: Push your fingers into the knuckle.
The bottom ones are easier to crack than the top ones.An immediate crack should be generated by that force.Sometimes it won't crack.No pop if your finger hurts.Just move onto the next finger.
Step 3: One way to do that is to put your fist in the air.
Then, push with your other hand.You can do a row of knuckles at the same time.You can push down on your top knuckle if you rotation your hand.It can be difficult to get used to and painful at first.
Step 4: Take one finger at a time.
You can make a fist like you did in the other methods, but concentrate on one finger.If you put all the pressure on one finger, you can get a louder pop.Hold the hand you're cracking with the thumb of your other hand.Press down one at a time with your thumb either on top of your finger or near the tip.
Step 5: Don't make a fist by cracking your knuckles.
Put your hands together like a praying position.The fingers and palms should be touching.Keep your fingers together by moving your palms apart.When you hear your knuckles cracking, press them harder and harder together.It's possible that you need to move your hands a bit.If you have a dead middle and ring finger, you can focus on your pointer and pinky fingers.
Step 6: It's possible to crack your knuckles by twisting.
You can either take one hand and wrap it around the finger, or you can do both at the same time.While you hold the finger stable, swing that hand.You can get a good crack out of it if you take a little time to perfect it.It is possible to do it for the top joints as well.You can twist the top part of your knuckle by grabbing it with your other hand.Instead of twisting your hand, you twist it.
Step 7: Try not to touch your knuckles.
If you can bend your fingers forward, it can work.It's just a pipe dream for most people.Less people can crack the same finger after they have popped it.This may not be the case for you, but if you are having problems, you should wait a few minutes and crack again.
Step 8: Understand what causes your knuckles to crack.
The noise is believed to be gas bubbles popping inside the fluid in your joints as you move them.Some people can make more noises than others.Some people will not be able to crack their knuckles.Which ones can you do?What about the top and bottom knuckle?All of our joints are surrounded by fluid.A drop in pressure can be created by stretching your finger, which creates an increase in volume.The gases start to form bubbles.The bubbles in your fingers are called "cavitation."
Step 9: Wait for at least 15 minutes between cracks.
It will take some time for the gas bubbles to come out of your fluid.You can't crack them again right away.The fluid should be ready in a few minutes.Try to timing it.
Step 10: Know what happens.
Your mother may have told you that cracking your knuckles can lead to arthritis.Is it true?Well, probably not.No conclusive studies have been done.It's mostly an old wives' tale.Some say it can lead to joint pain, while others say there is no connection at all.How can you account for the fact that those who crack their knuckles may already have pain?Don't go over it just to be safe.
