Why Do My Knees Crack When I Squat?
Why do your knees crack when you squat? Is it dangerous—or just annoying? I get this question all the time, and as someone with noisy knees myself, I know how unsettling those pops can sound. In this very first episode of Hey Doc, Quick Question, I break down what’s really going on inside your joints, when to relax, and when it’s worth paying attention.
This show is for anyone who’s ever thought, “I should ask a doctor about that.” No jargon. No long lectures. Just quick, credible answers you can actually use—most episodes are under 10 minutes.
In today’s episode, I’ll share:
-
What’s really happening when your knees crack (spoiler: it’s not bones breaking)
-
How to tell harmless noise from an actual injury
-
Why pain, swelling, or stiffness matter more than the sound itself
-
Practical tips to keep your knees strong and healthy
