Risks of Neck Cracking
Dr. Svitlana Aleksandrova explains that the clicking sound when moving the neck does not always indicate correct alignment of the vertebrae. Often, it results from variations in pressure within the joint or from the movement of tendons and ligaments. However, she warns against forceful and sudden movements involving intense rotation or tilting, as these can damage the wall of the vertebral artery and cause artery dissection, which may lead to reduced blood flow and, in rare but serious cases, a stroke. She emphasizes that persistent desire to produce sound from the neck may reflect tension or muscular disorder, and recommends consulting a specialist for treatment if the issue continues.
