Popping joints can occur for any number of reasons, including normal fluid and gas in your joints, rubbing of bone or cartilage in your joints against each other, and movements of your tendons and ligaments.
While this rarely causes pain, it can be unsettling, especially if it occurs frequently or is significant.
In general, joint popping does not cause arthritis, is not a sign of a serious medical illness, and is not dangerous.1 In rare cases, however, you may need to see your doctor about it.
Popping can occur in any joint of the body. Some of the common ways this occurs include flexing or rotating your ankle, opening and closing your hand, or moving your neck.
