Likely facet prob: See your primary care physician. I suspect you have issues with the facet joints in the back of your spine. You may benefit from a muscle relaxer and/or an anti-inflammatory. Physical therapy including cervical traction may help.

Get it checked: See a non surgical spine specialist to evaluate and determine if you need x-rays, MRI or medical workup (some diseases cause inflammation and cause spine pain in younger folks) and help determine the best course of treatment. Try to stop popping neck - it's addicting and might cause the tissues in your neck to become too loose which makes you feel "out".
