Neck Cracking

 well, in last 2 months ive been trying to avoid cracking my neck since I dont think its good, esp since it has gone "out" in the pastā¦... What do you mean by the neck has gone out? Did you dislocate the neck joints by cracking? Ouch.  I also crack my neck quite often. Usually in combination with my shoulder joints. 
 @Mhillqt:i noticed that after long runs(ie 10 miles) the cracking is incredible. It is quite the opposite for me. After a long run, my desire to crack my joints is rather low. I always figured this was because I had just given most of my joints a good exercise.

 no i am the same after a run or weights - i can really let out some great neck cracks!! i def enjoy cracking my neck the most - i have also tried and failed many times to stop because i do worry about my neck. does anyone else when they just roll their neck around hear REALLY loud grating sounds. its kinda scary!!

 sorry , meant after long walks or workouts my neck cracks really well, after long runs dont have need to crackā¦..my neck has suffered pinched nerves in the past when it was more subluxated but now not as often......cracking is really a great release....its like a drug!

 Can you explain exactly what a pinched nerve is, sounds painful. Did you get your pinched nerve by cracking your neck?

 A pinched nerve is a nerve that gets stuck between against a vertebrae in the spineā¦normally these nerves stick out freely between the vertebrae instead of being trapped against them.....cracking my neck use to make my neck more susceptible to having a pinched nerve....

 Yes when i roll around my neck - i hear cracks and i hate having to do that as a warm-up exercise before i play squash because i feel i am doing more damage. I don't know what s*x is like as i am underage lol and a law abiding citizen :lol: but it seems that the people who can crack their necks well get a great sense of relief. However they are also the ones who need to do it more. Also stress seems to be a factor in jointcracking.

 Oh I love when my neck cracks but I can't get it to do it all the time⦠I actually want to know the proper technique for it so I don't actually damage it when I'm doing it. My neck is soooo stiff right now and I haven't been able to get to crack in days. =/ And are there other ways of releasing tension w/o cracking? 
 But yeah, I understand the o****m feeling when the neck cracks... it's like, the second best thing to one. L**O.

 Me too, but it doesn't always work. It's okay, I FINALLY got it to go a few hours ago. lol. 
 I just wish it would do it all the time but I don't want to do too much more than what I already do b/c I'm afraid I'll hurt it if I do it wrong.

 b/c? or maybe use your hands to turn it to the side all joint cracking is dangerous
