What causes a clicking sound in the neck?

thank you so much for this. I am struggling with the downs of the clicking crinking sounds in my neck that appeared out of no where one day months after an accident. They do not seem to be going away..only getting worse and its driving me crazy. Pray for me. Joanna

Are you kidding me? I just read through all this to come to your conclusion that GOD fixed your neck? I read through this thinking you may have come up with an actual diagnosis and a way to make this stop happening. Thank you for absolutely nothing.

Dear Anonymous,

Thank you so much for being considerate enough to write a detailed, fact based logical post. Only one of the many I have read ever since this clicking has become part of my every head movement.

Your story is just like mine. I was sitting on the sofa, working on my laptop and suddenly I realized my neck's clicks whenever I turned right. Since then I am extremely worried. its really hard for me to focus on anything as Im constantly checking my neck hopping the click to go away magically.

Now I think I should see an ortho, but never the less, your post has given me hope.

THANK YOU. May you be blessed with good health.

Regards,

Hello, have your symptoms come back or are they still gone. I am going thru something very similar and not sure where to start.

Hi Mary, I know it's nearly a year ago you posted your experience but I have only just read it. After suffering with the same problem for several months and stopped going to my chiropractor as it was getting to expensive. At first she said my neck would be healed after 3 treatments but after about 10 treatments nothing has changed. Do you think it was the Bowen teqnique you had that healed your problem? I'm at my wits end and will gladly try that if it worked for you

Hi, I am a 67 year old male...very similar symptoms. Has your miraculous recovery continued? I am ready to go through all the different doctors, therapists, etc. but would sure like to find a fix I can be confident with. I have gone through a lot of stress lately...so maybe it will just stop someday like yours. Anyway thanks for sharing and I will wait it out for a while first.

My neck only started clicking this evening pretty much at random a few hours ago and I read most of the comments on this little forum here in order to learn more about it and find out whether I should be extremely concerned or just be patient enough to wait it out and see if the problem corrects itself, and all I have to say is about one comment, and it's this: You have us practically your life story on how you SURVIVED the Oh-so-LIFE-CHANGING TRAUMA of a neck-clicking issue like it was a form of cancer you found out you had a month left to live because of, or like it was the beubonic plague, while giving us no real useful information, just to ultimately chalk it up to your imaginary friend/invisible sky daddy?! Are you bloody serious? Get the hell outta here with that nonsense, for real!

THATS CRAZY! My neck literally does the exact same thing! Once when i look left and two to three when i look right!

Hi Mary
I have a rather unfortunate encounter with a chiroprator. That was a first time i meet a chiroprator. He did a neck adjustment for me, and after that adjustment, i hear clicking sound when i turn my head to the left. Before that 'adjustment', there was no clicking sound. Just like you, the clicking sound that come every single time i turn my head to the left annoy and sadden me. I went back to that chiroprator to tell him about my new situation, he did another adjustment hoping to correct the problem. But sadly, the clicking sounds still remain. When i read your story, i see a glimmer of hope that the problem might be able to fix, since u have fixed it. Can you offer any suggestion what i might do to get rid of the clicking sound?

Thanks.
James

I have been going through the process for a couple of week and have become concerned. I have moved my pillows because I realized I was using too many pillows while sleeping but the clicking did to go away. I think it is stress what is causing this and thinking about it does not help. Before going to the doctor, I will continue adjusting my pillows and will begin exercise movement of my head. I still need to consider the fact that my bathroom television is now on the wall and it may be too low. I use television to sleep (to stop overall thinking) and this keeps my head in certain position. Maybe the high of the television on the wall may be causing the problem. However, when I sit to watch TV, I used the pillow to allow e sit and watch, causing to strain my neck. I movement of pillows and exercise does not work, I will continue with the doctor. And, yes, lets give it time and trust in God
