How risky is it to crack your neck?

It’s actually quite risky. When you crack your neck, you’re putting yourself at risk of injury to the bones
and discs of your spine, which could lead to long-term pain and disability.
🦴🤕
The joints in your neck are very close to your brain stem, which controls vital functions like breathing and heart rate.
So if you damage those joints, it could be enough to kill you.
🧠💀
But don’t worry too much. It’s only a small risk.
Most people who crack their necks regularly only experience mild pain or discomfort.
But if you do decide to try it, please be careful. ⚠️
Here are some tips to reduce your risk of injury.
First, make sure you’re not doing it to an extreme.
If you can feel your neck giving way, then stop immediately.
Second, don’t do it if you have a history of neck pain or neck surgery.
And third, if you’re going to do it, do it with a partner.
That way, if something goes wrong, they can help you. 🤝
So is it worth the risk? That’s up to you. But please be safe. ⛑️
