A member asked:
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?

In the absence of.pain,I'd consider the cracking to simply be.motions of structures like.ligaments,tendons,adjacent bones.moving.on each other and pressure changes within joints in the neck. If you still have concerns, see your physician or an orthopedic specialist for evaluation&advice.
