Short-term muscle stiffness and/or soreness, nausea, headache and tiredness are actually quite common after a visit to the chiropractor. The latest research suggests that up to 50% of patients may have one or more of these side-effects for a short time following an adjustment. These side effects are more common in new patients and in patients that have gone a long time since their last visit. If you find that you have any of these effects after an adjustment you should expect them to last anywhere from 1-6 hours, and then should resolve. You should mention this to your chiropractic physician at your next visit so you and the doctor can discuss ways to prevent them in the future (eg: lighter adjustments, be adjusted more frequently, try a different form of therapy like mobilization or totally different like medication, etc.)

You tried to pop your neck but ended up in extreme pain what can you do to get rid of the pain?
It should go away on its own over time, how much time will depend on how much damage you did. You have likely either irritated a facet joint, sprained a ligament or strained a muscle. It is also possible that you have caused a spasm in some of your neck musculature. Either way, time will resolve the problem. If it is not going away fast enough for your liking, go see a chiropractor, who will be able to help you out. Lastly, it is not recommended that you "pop" your own neck, as too much amplitude, or an improper motion can cause damage to the joints, muscles and ligaments in your neck. Because the neck has so much more mobility and less stability than the rest of your spine (to allow for good head movement) it is easier to do damage here. I would recommend seeing a chiropractor if you feel that you could benefit from manual therapy of you neck (eg: if you have a stiff neck, neck pain, headache, dizziness, etc.).
Is Stiff neck is an example of hypertrophy?
No, a stiff neck (also called torticollis) is not an example of hypertrophy. A stiff neck is simply a problem of one or more muscles of the neck going into protective spasm to prevent further injury or compromise to the joints of the spine or the nerves of the neck or spinal cord. The neck muscles become tense, rigid and prevent movement, and as they do they might stand out a bit more than usual, but that is not hypertrophy. Hypertrophy is a phenomenon in a living organism, like the human body, a fish, or a blade of grass, in which an area or group of cells become larger typically because of increased demands of work placed on them.
What spasmodic is a stiff neck due to contraction of the neck muscles that pull the head toward the affected side?
