Most people have cracked their own neck at some point — but is it safe? In this episode of Ask the Chiropractor, Dr. Brant Hulsebus explains why self-manipulation offers only temporary relief and how repeated neck cracking can overstretch ligaments, create instability, and actually make the problem worse. Learn the difference between a spinal “pop” and a real chiropractic adjustment, plus when you should get evaluated.
