It can cause arthritis, just like popping any joint can.

You have a higher chance of getting athritis. It also makes the bone a little out of line and looser (my mom told me, shes a nurse lol).

Yes it is possible that you will have something wrong with your neck when your older. Go see that doctors and ask them for some advice about it.

Yes it is possible to ruin your neck when you do that. It is the same thing if you crack your knuckles, you can get arthritis. Hope i helped!

No, it's not true that you'll mess up your neck from cracking it. If you somehow crack it wrong, you could pull a muscle but that rarely happens. Don't worry, you won't have a messed up neck when you're older.

I "crack" mine every evening, all's well so far! :) Don't think it will hurt you.

No, not entirely. When you crack your neck you release a fluid buildup in your bones, which you dont need. Therefor helping yourself ^_^

Asc answered Friday April 22 2005, 2:45 am:
In short: no, not really.


As I understand it, neck cracking streches the ligaments in the neck further than they were meant to, which puts more stress on the muscles and may result in stiffness and from that the desire to do it again (and so on and so forth). It is also ~suspected~ of accelerating the eventual onset of arthritis.

Note that finger cracking also doesn't cause arthritis but does weaken your grip significantly if done very much, an effect that I can personally confirm. Possibly cracking your neck will have the same effect... maybe that's why my posture is so bad eh?

FunnyCide answered Friday April 22 2005, 1:10 am:
Lol I do the same thing. I'm trying not to, because there is a chance it might cause Arthritis. (not something that you want to mess with - especially if it runs in your family - as it does in mine). I would try and stop because of the chance, and you might disalign (sorry about spelling) a vertebrae. Or hurt a tendon or muscle. Or pull a nerve. There's just alot that could go wrong, that's why I'm trying to stop. That's just my opinion though. :)
