How to stop cracking my neck?

How do I stop cracking my neck and back?

  • Although it provides a sense of relief, it's a sense of relief that I never needed before I started cracking either my neck or back. (I started when I was a pre-teen because I thought it looked cool.) Furthermore, both my neck and back seem to always feel stiff, like it's always in need of being cracked.

  • Answer:

    If it hurts: Try tilting your head forward a little bit and if it's a habit get rid of it. You can get rid of a habit in 30 days, and for your back if you are in a chair and your sitting, make sure your not slouching and you should sit up straight... I had that habit to until someone got on me about it.** Extra tip:  stretch your back**   Make sure your arm is up in the air and lean down longitude style. Or you can raise your arms in the air and pretend your climbing a ladder but sway your body side to side slowly. Try it, it really works Habit: Think of something else and distract yourself from doing so... remember you start something in 30 days which means you can get rid of it in 30 days as well.

A different perspective:  is it possible there was some injury that you don't remember?  I cracked my back for a long time, as a result of a car wreck that I thought was inconsequential.  Some years later, I found my way to a chiropractor's office, got treated, and quit needing to crack. YMMV.

Cracking your joints won’t harm you in the long term, so no need to refrain from doing so. You most probably are tensing your neck muscles more than before, maybe getting more tensed growing up, shouldering more responsibilities, undergoing changes in your life etc.This has been repeatedly researched in the hand http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21383216

Inject epoxy resins into the joint space to solidify them. Your neck and back will then be one rigid assembly incapable of cracking.
