How to Crack Your Elbow

About How to Crack Your Elbow

If you feel the elbow lock, a good way is to pop it.

our elbow should remain relaxed while you flick it outward.

If your elbow feels tense or stiff, like it needs to pop, try flexing and relaxing your triceps.

Cracking your elbow can feel good (like cracking your knuckles) and relieves pressure from your joint.

However, if you’re experiencing sharp pain in your elbow, popping it won’t help (and may worsen the condition).

You may be experiencing bursitis, tennis elbow, or a rupture in 1 of your bicep tendons, and should seek medical attention.
