I impulsively crack my neck over and over again when I’m working on things (lemm.ee)

It’s become my main stem. My neck is extremely tense and slowly in more and more pain and I’m getting concerned… can anyone else relate or offer tips?

i used to crack my neck every few minutes until my doctor told me it can cause a stroke. true or not, it worked. haven't done it once after that.

I just looked it up and your doc was right. It seems that it can often follow a chiropractic adjustment because believe it or not chiropractic is not a real medical field, similar to acupuncture and acupressure.

This is enough to make me think twice about cracking it - time for my AuDHD to find a new stim!
