Q: can getting ur back cracked and having ur head in a bad position break neck?

: When you give high impact force or sudden torsion of the neck, one of the seven cervical vertebrae can fracture causing broken neck. I will highly suggest not to do any activity which is known to cause cervical fracture as it can affect spinal cord and causing paralysis. Hope it helps.

My neck cracks up the back of my head when I turn my head to the left EVERY time I do it? It does not hurt. I recently had a chiropractor crack my neck for this and he said it should go away in about 2 days or so. It has not. Should I be worried?
