All depends on how you crack them. Cracking your back by stretching it or your neck by rolling it around shouldn't cause any damage. But, if you use your hands to twist your neck around to get it to pop, you risk possibly damaging the vertebrae in your neck (either slipping,cracking, or even possibly rupturing a disk in extreme cases).

Is it possible to damage your brain from constantly cracking your neck?
NO!!!!!! unless you are a certified chiropractor. Answer I have had a bad habit of cracking my neck and have been to my doctor as well as go to a chiropractor on a regular basis and I am going to tell you - NO DON'T DO IT!! I cannot stress that enough. When you are cracking your neck you are stopping it moving from the proper area it is suppose to move from and moving places that are not suppose to move which in turn cause damage. Cracking your neck can cause long term troubles such as arthritis, cause seizures when your cracking it, chronic headaches, dizziness, or even death.

Does cracking you knuckles lead to artiritus?
No, knuckle cracking does not lead to arthritis. It is an old tale told over and over again. The human condition is to link every action with a negative or positive effect. Because there is a "cracking" sound, the human condition is to consider this action bad. All that is occurring is the rapid release of gases from the joint capsule back into the blood stream. There is no harm in this. Also, there has never been a legitimate study that said that "knuckle-crackers" were more prone to arthritis. On another note, there have been studies saying that the excessive and unnatural movement of the joints such as "knuckle-cracking," can cause ligament damage and even dislocation of tendons. Hope this helps!

If a catalytic converter on Honda CRV 2002 is not working will it cause damage to the car if driven?
Yes, it could cause damage. The most frequent cause of catalytic converter failure is the fact they become clogged up with residual foreign matter. This 'clogging' can cause restricted flow of the exhaust gases to the tail pipe and cause back pressure in the engine.
