A member asked:

Past few years ive had a sharp (snap like) feeling on the right side of my neck (feels like a sudden rubber band snap) used to happen maybe once/month. past 6 months its been at least 5-10x monthly. when this happens, my whole body jolts. zero pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If no discomfort accompanies these sensations and especially if they occur when your head and neck move in one direction, the cause is usually tendons & ligaments moving over bone structures. Even though these snaps are scary, they are harmless. Since they are more frequent, Just to be sure I recommend that you have a physician or orthopedic specialist examine your neck & advise you.
