Why are my ankles cracking so much?

A snapping sound in the ankle is most commonly caused by the tendon slipping over the bone. As you rotate your ankle, this triggers the snapping or clicking sound. Alternatively, an ankle may crack when rotated because as a force is exerted on the joint, bubbles of nitrogen in the synovial fluid burst.

How do I stop my ankles from cracking constantly?

Strengthening your ankles may help prevent ankle popping and ankle injuries. Some types of exercises can help you target your peroneal muscles on the outside of your ankle, which help stabilize your ankle joint.

Why does my ankle pop when I roll?

A sudden twist or unexpected blow to the ankle can push the ankle joint out of its normal position, causing a sprain. And if you hear a loud “pop” when the injury occurs? That’s the tearing of the elastic ligaments that support the ankle. Typically, a sprained ankle can heal in four to six weeks.

How do you stretch out your ankles?

To do this:

1. Sit comfortably with your left leg crossed over your right knee.
2. Hold your right foot with your hands.

4. You should feel this stretch on the front of your ankle and your foot.
