I'm taking massage classes and the instructor told me to stop cracking my neck because it can compress nerves and eventually cause nerve damage over time. HOW do I stop cracking my neck? I have been cracking it for a few years now after I had whiplash from a car accident. Now, I do it every morning and through out the day. Its now a habit and its uncomfortable when I dont.

just try to stop, in the morning put a cream like icyhot on your neck and it should help sooth your neck so you won'y need to crack it as much.

cracking the neck is just the expansion of the joints, common point is the rolling of the neck and hearing that cracking ... that is good ... never heard of it causing compression... chiropractors crack the neck in doing allignment and find it benificial.
