NO!!!!!! unless you are a certified chiropractor. Answer
I have had a bad habit of cracking my neck and have been to my doctor as well as go to a chiropractor on a regular basis and I am going to tell you - NO DON'T DO IT!! I cannot stress that enough. When you are cracking your neck you are stopping it moving from the proper area it is suppose to move from and moving places that are not suppose to move which in turn cause damage. Cracking your neck can cause long term troubles such as Arthritis, cause seizures when your cracking it, chronic headaches, dizziness, or even death.

∙ 14y agoyes, and no. I always crack my neck, and I'm just fine. However, many people say that its bad for your joints and neck ligaments. If your neck is feeling stiff it'll making you want to crack it; which loosens your ligaments and makes you feel better for a while. But then it'll just tighten up again; its a cycle, and it wears down ur joints and ligaments. Or so they say.

∙ 14y agoIf a person has plaque buildup in the carotid artery, which is a major artery that runs through the neck region and supplies the brain, by cracking the neck, that plaque may become dislodged. It can then travel up to the brain and cause a stroke.
