My neck cracked while doing a headstand and now it's very tight and i'm down to about 40% rotation on either side. what is the best action to take?

See a doctor: At a minimum it sounds like you may have strained your neck muscles. It's unclear what the sound of cracking represents. It's best to have your doctor examine it and determine the need for an x-ray. Your doctor may also provide medication that will help the pain and inflammation.
