Can you hurt yourself by cracking your neck? You know like when you push it side to side with your hands to pop it? I heard that some girl really hurt herself by doing this.

Yes you can. It causes your neck to be loose all the time and you can easily injure it further. Example, you crack your neck and fall, your neck can't hold it's self in place and you can break it or cause major neck problems for your entire life. It can also cause your neck to go out of position and cause major pains, such as headaches, back aches, sinus problems, and sleeping problems.
It's really only meant to be done when your neck is out by a professional doctor such as a D.O or a Chiropractor. It's manipulation of the body and that could potentially be very dangerous.

The only neck cracking that should be done is by a qualified chiropractor.

Yes, if you are not careful, you can do some damage. I've heard of people putting so much pressure that they end up snapping their own neck. Not too common, but not unheard of either.

yea you can hurt your neck by cracking it. Unless people are doctors they would not know the proper way to crack their neck.

I have my neck adjusted at a chiropractor, and with him it is not dangerous. But I would not reccomend doing it yourself, or by someone not qualified, you never know what might happen.

Well, you should use caution. If you don't have professional training maybe you should let someone who does, do it for you.
