Explanation why....: I guess it all depends on why you're having it done. I've had mine cracked on many occasions, and it feels pretty good. Go figure.

In general: The rate of neurological injury following chiropractic manipulation is very low; so in general it is safe and can often help with back or neck pain.

Does crepitus go away on its own? I foolishly made the choice to see a Chiropractor one time. Did one neck adjustment. The past week my base of neck cracks if I tilt my head side to side. No pain, just weird. Will this go away on its own typically?
