Cracking sound when i turn head after deep tissue neck massage- been over 1 week now, no pain but scared by this sound...should i worry?

See a DO for opinion: Usually the cracking sound is just the articulation, or movement of one vertebrae over the other as you move your head. You need to let your massage therapist know what happened. Then, if it continues, see an osteopathic doctor for consult, evaluation and treatment, to put everything back into alignment. That should reduce or eliminate the sound altogether.
