You could have xRay done and then have someone, either your doctor or a chiropractor or other health professional that is trained to read xRay's sit down with you and explain the creaky sounds. Normal degeneration of the bones is one cause, another is if you've been in an accident of some sort that might have involved that area of your body. It's a good idea to have it checked out, it will help to ease your mind on what's occurring or not occurring. If you really don't want to see someone who practices western medicine, you might consider finding an alternative health expert in your area. Perhaps someone who does cranial-sacral work.

That happens to me too. Not to worry, the sounds you hear have nothing to do with "bones" per se (even though it sounds like it and feels like it), but rather it is gases being released. Read further:
Why joints pop. Movement through the paraphysiologic zone, the Twilight Zone of joint motion, occurs when the passive range is exceeded but before actual damage can occur. Paraphysiologic motion involves the "play" of a joint, not just further passive motion. This springiness you feel in your knuckle when you gently tug on a finger or push the finger backward to the endrange of passive motion is there because the ligaments have a little give built into them. In the paraphysiologic zone the surfaces of each bone - which don't actually quite touch in a normal joint - move apart slightly further. A sudden and quite temporary vacuum occurs which is just as suddenly filled by gas which has been, up until that moment, saturated in the joint fluid. A popping or cracking noise is produced. This exchange of gas and fluid is called cavitation. It is similar to popping your cheek with your finger; when you push your fingertip out of your mouth quickly, air rushes in to the space suddenly created and makes a pop!

Mine does not so much creak as to give a sharp crack together with a jolt of pain. Every once in a while I put my right hand over my head onto my left ear and give a sudden tug, The crack goes KRAK the pain shoots off and then I'm OK for about six hours, I've had it for years and never though anything odd about it. Sometimes makes me feel like Igor in the Frankenstein films.

That creaky/crunchy sound is actually your neck muscles, its caused by tension around that area and makes popping sounds when you turn your head. I used to think it was bad joints crunching but an osteopath assured me that it was neck muscles and nothing to worry about. try changing your posture so that your eyes are level with the top 1/3 of your monitor.

Nothing to worry about, just wear and tear I'm afraid. Buy some oil for the purpose and give the bones in the back of your neck (your spine) a gentle daily massage. Treat yourself to a decent pillow for when you go to bed too.

same here. I dont think its anything serious. You hear it when it's really quiet and you turn your neck slowly, right? i don't it's anything serious. I find that my neck does this when i have been sitting in the same position or haven't moved for a while. It's probably just bones or your spinal cord settling, nothing serious.

You have been secretly abducted by aliens and they replaced your consciousness into a machine... Kidding aside, you can see a chiropractor. You probably just have a disk out of alignment.

a little is ok. like if you gotta be in dead silence and trying to listen to hear it is no biggie. if it is loud as hell the you might wanna go see someone. if you hate most doctors, then you are screwed. having neck and back troubles myself, i have found that ciropractors work rather well.

It's just your neck vertebreas.
I think if you're in a stiff position for a long time without moving it happens.
The vertebreas brush against each other?
