No. When people feel like their backs or necks are stiff, they sometimes do very drastic things to make their joints pop. Stop! This can be very dangerous! If this is done too much, it can extend the ligaments around the spinal joints out, leading to more problems and pain. There have even been cases of strokes brought about by people trying to crack their own necks.
Our chiropractic doctors perform a precise and targeted thrust into the joint that allows the spine to move freely again and doesn’t damage the surrounding muscles and arteries. So please, don’t pop your own neck!
