Questions and Answers > Knuckles - Are old wives tales all that they are cracked up to be?
To ensure the answer was accurate I conferred with Dr. Carol Mynatt, Chiropractor.
She said traction (pulling on the joint) was no problem, however folding and pushing the joints causes inflammation. Neither method though has been shown to cause arthritis.
