There actually is a medical term for the "popping and clicking", and it is referred to as "crepitus". It is actually a pretty common occurence. A majority of the time you will hear these sounds and not have any pain, but if you have other symptoms and start to hear these more frequently in your joints, it may be time to get checked out. It could come from a tight muscle, a tendon over the bone, or from osteoarthritis. Arthritis is when people usually begin to experience clicking noises.
The best way to avoid frequent noises from your joints is to remain active! Get the fluids in your joints moving and lubricate them to keep quiet.
You may also experience clicking noises from joints in your jaw, shoulder, knees, neck or shoulders, and quite often, in your ankles. As long as there isn't any pain or inflammation, its probably normal. When other symptoms begin to occur, this is when you need to get a professional evaluation. These noises indicate there is some degree of irritation in the joints. Chiropractic care can alleviate your symptoms and prevent any conditions from worsening.
