Does relaxing your fingers cause dislocation?

When stressed, many people have the habit of cracking their knuckles and twisting their arms to relax and loosen their joints. The “crack” sound when cracking your fingers makes many people feel comfortable. This action may seem harmless, but it still has an impact if you abuse or break your hands too hard, risking arthritis, dislocation, ligament injury, fracture…

This is a bad habit, not good for bones and joints, especially young children, the elderly, and people with bone and joint diseases. This action also does not help the body relieve pain as much as thinking. In the long term, many people are at risk of osteoarthritis and erosion.

If your finger hurts or swells suddenly after cracking a joint, go to the hospital to be examined as soon as possible.
