A member asked:
Can you cause any damage or break your vertebrae in your neck from it cracking when you were pushing against it to help move your body in a seat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Not in otherwise normal bone. It is more likely that if you felt a crack or pop, that it was coming from your facet joint which is not dangerous or uncommon.
