Many people think it is harmful, and we all agree.
First of all, what really happens when we crunch our fingers?
Put simply; joint, where the two bones meet, and the joint capsule is filled with fluid. Every time we mass our joints, the space between bones expands. The joint fluid is insufficient to fill the space between the bones, the pressure inside drops, and a gas-filled bubble forms. The sound we hear is the thumping sound when this bubble is broken.
Radiologist and surgeon Robert D. Boutin analyzed data from 40 subjects.
While 30 of them have the habit of massing, 10 have never tried - at least deliberately - in their lives.
Apparently, the joint range of motion increases after massing. In a way, it's a warm-up action for the joints!
It may even be a good method to prevent joint disease, but research is still ongoing.
The test is also used to detect swelling, joint inflammation, etc. showed that there was no joint disease.
