Cracking the nose

Cracking your nose is most likely not related to a fracture but more related to an instability of the septum cartilage which is flipping in and out of its natural position on the palate. The pain is also related to the chronic trauma caused by this movement. A surgical procedure should be able to correct this. All the best, Talmage J. Raine MD FACS
