What causes the neck kinking and popping? how can i fix it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stiffness: Although it may be caused by a number of things, the most likely cause of the neck kinking and popping is stiffness due to relative inactivity of the neck. Performing gentle stretching exercises of your neck every day should fix it. Although it is possible that the popping and kinking may seem to be worse initially, it should eventually resolve.
