A member asked:
Popped my neck 8 days ago by tilting my head to one side. felt "lightheaded" with "electricity" all over. still feeling it some, but less. what is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Irritation of nerve: which passes through your cervical spine in your neck can result in these types of symptoms. "Popping" your neck can result in irritation and/or inflammation of a nerve or the spinal cord which passes through your cervical spine. The symptoms should resolve as the inflammation improves. Gentle range of motion exercises of your neck muscles daily will help prevent these problems.
