Is it healthy to crack your neck like you crack your hands?!


Question: Usually whenever I lean my head left or right it makes a cracking noise as if I just cracked my knuckles. I'm the only one I know of doing this and I want to know if I'm okay. Why does my neck do this?

no its not okay u can get arthuis..and when you do that your cracking bubbles between your joints
maybe you shouldnt jerk your head to hard

yes it is. it`s an exercise.

I do it all the time and I have no problems.

my doctor said that it is ok some times but if you do it to much you will get spinal problems

My neck cracks when I am lying in bed so does my shoulder. I have cervical spondylosis which I think is arthritis in the neck and I have assumed it is to do with that.

It is caused from the neck not being aligned properly. If you do it for a long period of time over years it may make it worse.
