Why Does My Neck Pop and Crack Every Time I Move?

​Constant, "painless" popping or grinding (crepitus) in the neck is often the sound of vertebrae moving beyond their normal range because the ligaments are too loose to hold them in place. While an occasional pop is normal, frequent cracking with every movement suggests that your spine is searching for stability and the bones are "slipping" over one another.

Is it dangerous to crack my own neck?
Self-cracking provides temporary relief by releasing endorphins, but it can actually worsen cervical instability by further stretching out the already loose ligaments. If you find yourself needing to "pop" your neck multiple times a day in Flagstaff, it’s time for a DMX to see if your ligaments are providing the support your brain and spinal cord need.
