A member asked:
Is it a bad idea to try to "pop" your neck after possible whiplash ? what could happen if i tried this ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, try to avoid: If it is a pure whiplash injury, then popping it incorrectly can further damage the facet joints and the capsule around the joints. Also, if you had any other ligamentous injury, you can cause further damage to those as well. If you need manipulation of your neck, see a professional for help with the feeling of needing to pop.
