Does your joints click, crack, grind or pop? Let’s find out if this is something you should worry about.
Crepitus is the medical term for a noisy, clicking joint. This issue could means an underlying issue or it could simply be a normal part of our body mechanic. The most common causes of clicking joints are:
Tight Muscles, Ligaments, Tendon
Our joints are bound together by a network of soft tissues consisting of muscles, ligaments and tendon. Our soft tissues could tighten from overusage or previous injuries and this could causes grinding around the joint.
Degeneration
Arthritis is the wear and tear on the joint. This could be due to ageing or previous trauma. The loss of space between the joints from arthritis can cause rubbing and grinding of the surrounding structures.
Non-Optimal Joint Position
Our joint alignments dictate our functions. When a structure is misaligned, the extra stress can cause clocking and popping in the joint.
Debris
Debris in the joint from old injuries and trauma can cause crepitus. This could also cause the joint to lock or jam up.
Clicking, cracking joints could be a sign of abnormality in the joint. If you are concerned about your clicking joints, Book online or call us today on 0481342837 to get examined.
