The bones in the body keep making noises

Bones are an essential material component of the human body, and they play a very important supporting role in the human body. However, when the human body's bones develop to a certain stage, they will show an aging trend, so as people age, their bones gradually age. In life, everyone should exercise properly to strengthen their bone health. Some people do not pay attention to exercise, which causes their bones to make noises frequently.

You can often hear people making a "cracking" sound when exercising, such as a sound in the knee joints when squatting, a slight "cracking" sound in the hip joints when walking, a sound in the cervical spine when turning the neck, and a sound in the fingers when clenching the fingers... These sounds are usually called "snapping".

Generally speaking, if there is only a clicking sound without any redness or swelling on the surface, or pain, and no movement disorder, it is physiological clicking and does not require special treatment, nor is there any need to be overly anxious about it. When the joints move, friction and sound will always occur between the articular surfaces, between the cartilage pads and the articular surfaces, between the tendons and the joint capsules, etc. In most people, this sound is not obvious, but in some people it is clearer. Especially for those who sit for a long time, less lubricating fluid is produced between the joints, which increases the friction loss of the joints and makes it more likely to hear the popping sound. When accompanied by pain or limited joint movement, you need to go to the hospital to determine whether the joint is dislocated or damaged.

People who work at a desk all year round, such as teachers, editors, secretaries, and computer data entry operators, often complain about "pops" in the cervical spine. The popping sound is precisely a reminder for people not to maintain the same posture for too long, but to exercise more. It is best to get up and move around for 15 to 30 minutes.

Bone cracking is the sound produced by joint movement. The basic structure of joints:

1. Articular surface: The smooth surface where bones contact each other is called the articular surface. The joint surface is covered with a layer of cartilage called articular cartilage.

2. Joint capsule: composed of connective tissue, it is attached to the central surface around the joint surface.

3. Joint cavity: It is the narrow gap enclosed between the articular cartilage and the joint capsule.

You say that bones make noises because there is not enough mucus on the smooth surface of the cartilage where the joint head and the joint socket contact each other. The solution is to supplement more collagen protein, eat more foods rich in collagen protein such as pig's trotters. Everyone makes noises when moving their joints because of the structure of the joints (vacuum). Some people make noises in multiple joints, and the noises are loud. This is still normal and there is no need to be afraid.
