I hear cracking sounds in my neck when i move my head backwards or sideways (normal movement) and in my back when i stretch it. it started two months ago?

Ligaments: More than likely these sounds are ligamental snapping and most likely are insignificant unless accompanied by discomfort or sharp pains. If you are otherwise fine,there is no need to consult an orthopedic surgeon or chiropractor.
