A member asked:
Can a crack of the neck cause interruption of blood flow to the brain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely : perceived cracks in the neck are usually from the joints and ligaments of the cervical spine. However, manipulation of the neck and trauma have been associated with dissection of the arteries in the neck that give blood supply to the brain.
