Have noticed a cracking sound in my neck. it happens when i turn my head to the right only. i have no pain in it. should i be concerned?

No problem: Cracking popping creaking without pain are not cause for alarm. The tendons, muscles and ligaments move and rub against each other causing the sounds. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
