How do i know exactly what happens when someone gets a snapped neck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Snapped: I assume you me an adjustment or correction, but you could also mean trauma. The popping or snapping sound in a neck adjustment is from the seperation of the facet joints. Compressed joints or misaligned joints will often make a sound when released.
