Snap, Crackle, Pop!

 
What exactly causes ankles to crack and pop all the time? It happens all the time to me when I dance, but now that I've been doing it for a while, my ankles don't snap, crack or pop as much. Is this kind of thing hereditary? How can I make it stop?

-Anonymous


Hey, girlie! I used to dance, too, and although I've never had my ankles crack or pop, I highly suggest that you see a doctor! Since you've been dancing for a while now, it doesn't happen as often, but when it does, you should seek a professional's help.

I'm not a doctor so I'm not sure if this is hereditary, but you can ask your family members if it happens to them. Although it might not hurt or bother you when your ankles crack or pop, it is definitely wise to see what's up because the cracking and popping might end up being something serious if you don't take care of it now! Play it safe and get it checked out, Dancer! (:

That happens to me too. But it's my elbows and knees that pop and crack all the time.

My legs, arms, fingers, and... foohey! Everything in my body cracks! I'm not too sure if it's because I don't exercise much or because I'm growing too fast ALL the time. Tong

THat happens to me but my knees and ankles do it but thats because I was in competitive cheerleading Training for jr. olympics and doing jazz tap hip hop and ballet compotitions I went to a doctor at age nine because I would sprain my ankle just bye falling down come to find Out I permanently damaged my joints and nearly got my growth stunnted so I had to give up my drean of a gold medal all because my coaches pushed me to hard and now I will have to live with the popping noise forever and have me knees and ankles constantly bothering me Frown

That used to happen to me. It is probaly weak ankles. Mine dont bother me as bad as they used to. You need to get an ankle brace or wear an ace bandage when dancing this helped me tremendisly.
