A member asked:
If i bent my neck sideways and it didn't pop am i going to die from a spinal cord injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: I am not sure what you mean but neck "pops" are not necessary. I have never heard of a person having a spinal cord injury by just moving their head as is usually expected (pops or not).
