Maybe just doing it once a day on your neck and fingers?

No. Not at all. Its tiny air bubbles between the joints that pop. Theres no real harm done.
People are still a bit unsure of what EXACTLY causes it, but they know for sure that its not harmful. For now, they strongly believe that its just air bubbles.
So crack your neck/fingers/whatever whenever you need to, nothing bad will happen. At the most, you can "overstretch" it and cause some minor discomfort, but nothing serious.
Hope i helped! :)

Not at all. Cracking your knuckles is fine. The old wives tale of cracking your knuckles causes arthritis is a myth.
Crack away my friend...although some people find the sound annoying...

There's no medical basis that says that cracking your knuckles is bad. However, if you do this all the time and it starts to hurt (constant pain) then I guess you would have to stop

No it's not bad at all, it's healthy to crack them to make your hands more relaxed especially if your on the computer all the time or using your hands all the time at work. it doesn't cause arthritis.

it's the nitrogen inbetween your knuckle as it passes through the joint. completel fine. it will not cause artheritis. it will however make you look like a badass after you beat the crap out of your neighbor when you see him smoochin your date at the local bar.

according to the DR's no real problem, all that is popping is kind of like air bubbles, does not lead to any debilitating affliction in the future
