A rough pathological crack in the neck may indicate the deposition of salts and osteophytes, as well as the displacement of the vertebrae relative to each other. About this topic in an interview with NEWS.ru said Osteopath Alexander Evdokimov. According to him, these symptoms are a serious reason to consult a doctor.
“Osteophytes, with certain movements, can damage soft tissues, blood vessels, cause irritation of nerve tissue and cause pain in the cervical spine. Therefore, this kind of neck crackling, especially if the person works sitting, is not a good sign, you should definitely see a doctor,” emphasized Evdokimov.
At the same time, according to him, neck cracking may occur in thin people due to hypermobility of the vertebrae, which is not evidence of pathology.
Osteopath and neurologist Vladimir Belash previously reportedthat cracking your fingers doesn’t damage ligaments and doesn’t damage joints. According to him, this is a “harmless habit” and information about its dangers is a myth.
Russians before warned about the risk of developing a hernia due to visits to chiropractors.
